Pog-Barca? Odds slashed on Pogba joining Barcelona

We’ve slashed the odds on Paul Pogba joining Barcelona following a series of high-stake bets on the move.

It also comes after reports that the Manchester United record signing was seen meeting with Barca technical director Eric Abidal.

As a result, our traders have cut the price on the move from 16/1 to 9/2.

Our own Paddy Power said: “The man with the greatest initials in world sport could be in line for another jaw-dropping transfer, judging by the betting activity we’re seeing.

“His return to United was much feted, but it’s been more Pog-doom-and-gloom than Pog-boom.”

Pogba’s not enjoyed the warmest relationship with manager Jose Mourinho after returning to the Red Devils following a stint in Turin with Juventus.

Now he could irk his currently gaffer even more with a sudden summer dash to the Nou Camp – former home to Mourinho’s bitter rival Pep Guardiola and a place where Jose was belittled as a “translator” when working with Bobby Robson.

Could the Portuguese see his old enemies now steal away a prized asset just when he looks to be finding his form?
