Barcelona declined to confirm or deny reports the club is preparing to buy Paul Pogba from Manchester United.

Mundo Deportivo claim Pogba, who is contracted to United until June 2021, wants to leave Old Trafford this summer because of a strained relationship with Jose Mourinho.

Barcelona are reportedly in contact with Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, and will be patient and try to sign the France international before the transfer window ends.

"I never speak about [specific] names, you know it," Bartomeu told Spanish TV station TVE after Barca's 2-1 win over Sevilla in the Spanish Supercup on Sunday night, when asked about Pogba.

"Furthermore, there is respect for other clubs. The truth is that there are 20 days remaining in the transfer window. I do not say it for this player [Pogba].

"This player is in his team and playing a competition. There are still 20 days left, we will see which players can leave and which players can come. We'll see.

"It is better you ask about the topic of players to [Barca technical director Eric] Abidal, [assistant technical director Ramon] Planes or [sporting manager] Pep Segura. We still have days remaining in the market to take action if needed."
