Mino Raiola confirms Pogba could play for Barcelona if Laporta wins the elections
Mino Raiola, representative of French player Paul Pogba, has confirmed to EFE that, in the event that Joan Laporta wins the presidency of Barcelona this Saturday, the midfielder "has a lot of options to play for Barça".
The Italian agent is aware that his client has been in the news during the electoral process of the Catalan club and has expressed surprise at Albert Soler's trip to Turin to negotiate with Juventus over the player. "I don't know Albert Soler. The trip to Turin seemed political to me, to take a photograph. It was a very strange trip. A foolish thing. Paul and I were outside Turin," said the representative, who understands that to negotiate the player's future, they must talk to him.
He has acknowledged that he maintains good relations with Laporta and is aware of the candidate's interest in signing the French player. Therefore, he has assured that if the former Barcelona president wins the elections, "Pogba has a lot of options to go to Barcelona." "First, he will have to negotiate with me and then with Juventus, but it can be done," said Raiola, who insisted that Barcelona's strategy, sending Albert Soler to Turin, "has been very complicated".
