Braida: Barcelona won't give up on Pogba

The Blaugrana had an €80 million bid for the midfielder rejected earlier this week but the Catalans look set to test the Old Lady's resolve

Barcelona sporting director Ariedo Braida has revealed the club have no intention on giving up on signing Juventus ace Paul Pogba.
The Blaugrana made an €80 million offer for the France international, 22, after meeting with Bianconeri officials in Milan on Wednesday.
However, their bid was rejected, with Juve general manager Giuseppe Marotta claiming the Italian champions have no intention of selling their most-prized asset.
Braida, though, has intimated that Barcelona fully intend to test the Old Lady's resolve to hold on to Pogba by submitting a second offer after this month's presidential elections.
"My friend Marotta, whom I hold great affection for, officially turned down the offer that I made,” Braida told Sport Mediaset.
"However, we won't stop here. First, there are the club elections, and then we'll see about other moves."
Braida's boss, Josep Maria Bartomeu, will bid for another term as Barca president on July 18.
Former Blaugrana supremo Joan Laporta, who is also running for election, has already labelled the failed attempt to land Pogba as "ridiculous" for making the Catalans "look bad".
