Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi has told the club to sign Manchester United’s French star, Paul Pogba before the end of the transfer window.

La Liga clubs have until August 31 to sign new players.

According to Don Balon, Messi would love to see Pogba in Blaugrana colours, as the Argentine captain believes the midfielder could be a crucial member for Ernesto Valverde’s team.

The Spanish newspaper claimed that Messi disclosed this on Tuesday, a day after his fellow teammate, Gerard Pique expressed his desire for the Camp Nou club to sign Pogba.

“I don’t know about his relationship with Mourinho,” Sport quoted Pique as saying.

“We’ll see in the future, but we would be very happy to see Pogba in Barca’s shirt.”
