Ariedo Braida: "My advice for Paul Pogba would be to sign for Barcelona"

Ariedo Braida, who fronts Barcelona's technical committee, spoke to Calcio Market on Gazzetta TV. And, as expected, the subject of Paul Pogba and a possible Juventus departure came up. 

Braida was very clear in his response: "Pogba could be a good reason to talk with [Juve's sporting director Giuseppe] Marotta," he began.

"He has enough quality to play for any team in Europe and it's normal that everyone would want him."

The Italian continued: "He's still a young lad, only 22 and he has exceptional qualities. 

"I think he could play with us [Barça]. If he had to choose, I think that Barça would be the club and the team with the project that interests him the most. 

"I would advise him to come to Barcelona. He is an important player that I and the president [Josep Maria] Bartomeu like.

"Raiola, his agent, is an intelligent person and he knows how to work well." 

In addition, Braida also confirmed that he plans to travel to Brazil next week. There, he has two objectives: Fluminense players Gerson and Kenedy

"Barcelona have someone working there and he has been working on this. There has been an option to sign the two for a while now," he added. 

However, Pogba is Barça's clearest objective at the moment, especially since his performance in the Champions League final last weekend.
