Barcelona target Paul Pogba says: "Lionel Messi gave me some advice"

Paul Pogba is the principle object of desire for Barcelona's director of football. His qualities on the pitch and his image mean the midfield master is the first name on Barcelona's transfer list.

Pogba has a contract with Juventus until 2019, but information this week suggests he will be ready to lower his demands for a move to FC Barcelona. 

In an interview on Sunday on Telefoot, the Frenchman confessed he had an intimate conversation with Leo Messi at the Ballon d'Or gala.

"Leo Messi gave me some advice," said Pogba in the interview, as seen in an advance clip of it. "I play to be No 1, I don't want to be No 2. My challenge is to win the Ballon d'Or."
