The only way Barcelona will be able to sign Paul Pogba is if they negotiate with Juventus and not his agent Mino Raiola, according to the club's director Giuseppe Marotta.
The Champions League winners have been public in their pursuit of the midfielder and made a bid of €80 million in June, only to see it turned down by the Serie A champions .
Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta then claimed his close ties with Raiola will allow him to seal a deal if he is elected, with Pogba's representative
confirming his client would have "a big chance" of moving to Camp Nou in that eventuality on Thursday.
However, Marotta has responded by reminding both parties that a deal will only be struck if the Catalans negotiate directly with the club.
"Those who want to sign Pogba must negotiate with Juventus and not with Raiola, who is only his agent," he told Mundo Deportivo .
"We have been negotiating with Barcelona for months, from one club to another, in a serious and transparent manner. This is the right way for two teams that have so much history and importance in the world of football to act.
"The situation is clear between Juventus and Barcelona since the meeting we had in Milan with their director Albert Soler and my friend Ariedo Braida.
"Barcelona made a serious and concrete offer, but we responded the same way and rejected it."
