Barcelona director Ariedo Braida has said the club are unlikely to try and sign Manchester United’s Paul Pogba this month with Rafinha set to stay at the Camp Nou for now.
has claimed that Barca will attempt to buy the France international before the transfer window closes in Spain, but Braida suggested those reports are untrue.
“I don’t think we’re going to move for Pogba, but he’s a great player,” he told Radio Sportiva.
Rafinha’s future could be linked to whether or not Barca make any more summer signings.
If he stays, they are unlikely to move for another midfielder despite also having been linked with Paris Saint-Germain’s Adrien Rabiot and Ajax’s Frenkie de Jong.
“Rafinha, quite probably, will stay at Barcelona,” Braida said. “He’s someone with a lot of quality, a player that can decide games with the way he handles the ball — he can go far.
“Last year, he came back from a bad injury, but when he recovered he did great things [on loan] at Inter. He’s a player who has impressive technical skills and he suits Barca very well.”
