Barcelona will not sign Pogba this year, says Bartomeu

In a surprising revelation Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu has declared that the Catalans will not sign Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba in 2015.
The Champions League holders are very keen on luring the 22-year-old to Camp Nou but saw an €80 million offer for the midfielder turned down last week.
Barca were expected to launch an improved bid but Bartomeu has revealed that any deal for Pogba is now on hold until January next year at the earliest.
"We will not buy Pogba this year," the current Barcelona president told reporters.
"We are not planning with him for next season. He is not part of our sporting plans for 2015-16 at this stage."
