Barcelona would have finally highlighted the details of the deal that would take Paul Pogba out of Juventus, but with Manchester City and Chelsea eying a late swoop.

Pogba has been the subject of much interest, especially from Barcelona. The new Blaugrana sporting director Ariedo Braida had already traveled to Italy to accelerate negotiations.

Barcelona would be preparing a €90 million bid for Pogba, according to Catalan media Sport and Mundo Deportivo. The Blaugrana would pay €80 million and an additional €10 million in bonuses. Of course, the deal would see Pogba only join in 2016, with Barcelona still under a transfer ban.

The Catalan media report however that Chelsea and Manchester City would be ready to come in late to capture Pogba’s signature. The Blues in particular, would be ready to offer Oscar as part of the deal. Manchester City, on their part, would be offering a little less than €100 million and a €220,000 per week deal to the player, according to the Mirror.
