Sign Pogba, Barcelona!
(Baonghean.vn) - According to information from the British press, midfielder Pogba will leave Old Trafford after the end of this season. Barcelona is considered the ideal destination for the player born in 1993.
The 2017/2018 season has come to its final stages, Barcelona is facing the opportunity to win the domestic double. In La Liga, the championship is almost certain in the hands of coach Valverde and his team, when the gap between them and the teams behind like Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is too big (12 points more than Atletico Madrid, but played 1 more match). In the King's Cup, Barcelona only has to face Sevilla in the final (taking place on April 22).
However, many Cule still feel dissatisfied with their team. The humiliating defeat against AS Roma in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals has caused coach Valverde and his students to receive a lot of criticism.

The performance at the Olimpico Stadium on April 11 was one of the most disappointing performances of the "Catalan giant" in the past decade. It has been a long time since Cules have seen Barcelona so weak and feeble.
The attack with superstars like Messi, Suarez, Iniesta… was lost in the siege of the home team AS Roma. Meanwhile, the defense was tormented by Dzeko, Chick, Under, El Shaarawy…
In addition to the tactical mistakes of coach Valverde, Messi and his teammates are also responsible for this situation. According to experts, the weakness of the midfield is the reason for Barcelona's blunt attack and weak defense.
Iniesta – Busquets – Rakitic – Roberto's failure to complete their tasks in defending from afar forced Barcelona's defense to always have to defend against sharp attacks and counter-attacks from AS Roma.
Besides, this quartet also could not control the game, did not provide enough balls for Messi - Suarez up front, contributing to helping AS Roma's defense easily neutralize the visitors' attacks.
Obviously, Barcelona's midfield has not been the same since Xavi left Camp Nou. Coach Valverde's most important task in the upcoming transfer window is to bring in a top-class central midfielder, instead of relying on Rakitic and Paulinho.
In terms of European football today, one of the most highly regarded players in the central midfield position by experts is none other than Man Utd's Pogba.
British newspapers are full of information related to midfielder Pogba's future at Old Trafford. It seems that the former Juventus player no longer has much chance to stay at Man Utd, after increasingly tense conflicts with coach Mourinho.
According to the British media, the Portuguese strategist has considered the option of pushing Pogba out of Manchester in the 2018 summer transfer window.

This is a very happy signal for Barcelona. The French midfielder's class is beyond dispute. From physical strength, personal technique to playing style, Pogba is more than capable of reaping success at Camp Nou.
Don’t forget that in the past, the 24-year-old player has repeatedly expressed his dream of playing alongside Messi. With this advantage, along with the fact that Man Utd is “crazy, crazy” about center-back Umtiti, the chance for Barcelona to successfully recruit Pogba is not small.
If the Camp Nou team sends Man Utd a serious offer, the 1993-born player will go to Catalan, and Umtiti and some money will go to Manchester in the opposite direction.
What are you waiting for, Barcelona board of directors!
