Xavi blocks Paul Pogba’s transfer to FC Barcelona: Says the Frechman lacks ‘This’ very important trait


Xavi blocks Paul Pogba’s transfer to FC Barcelona: Says the Frechman lacks ‘This’ very important trait

FC Barcelona are going through probably the worst phase in their history. The Catalans have already been demoted to the Europa league after a lacklustre performance in the Champions League group stage and are placed eighth on the league table. With the long injury list that they have, things can only go down from here. Amid such tough circumstances, only some success in the January transfer window can turn things around.

Given the limited resources that FC Barcelona have right now due to their financial situation, they will have to act wisely as they can not afford to lose money. Their new manager Xavi knows the importance of it and thus he has taken a bold step by rejecting a star player ahead of the January window.

Xavi says no to Pogba’s possible arrival

Paul Pogba

According to Spanish news publication Sport, Xavi has refused the signing of Paul Pogba to Barcelona. Xavi considers him incompatible with Barca’s style of play, judging Pogba to be more physical than technical enough.

It is not unknown that Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has excellent relations with FC Barcelona president Juan Laporta. The Italian agent had thus offered the Blaugrana the golden opportunity to sign his client, who is optimistic about an exit from Man United. However, with Xavi being totally uninterested in the Frenchman, it is good to say that the discussion is done and dusted. The Barca legend has full support of the board members and they prioritize his opinions in every matter.

In reality, Barca are not looking to sign any midfielder at all. Despite their age-old problems in the midfield and defence, the Catalans have always focused on buying forwards in the transfer windows and they will probably repeat the same thing this year.

Karim Adeyemi and Ferran Torres have been linked to FC Barcelona and both have high chances of joining them this January. Their demotion to Europa league might affect the dealing but Barca will put all their effort and limited resources in trying to pull off at least one of the two signings.
