Benedito hopes to win the presidency during upcoming elections next month and clearly talking up his chances of signing French international Pogba does his cause no harm.
The businessman stated;
“I have spoken to Pogba,”
“First, I contacted Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli, then spoke directly with the player.
“They have proposed an annual salary of €12m (£8.6m) after tax and a transfer fee of €80m (£57.5m).”
Agusti Benedito registered his views with regards to the club’s sponsorship deal with Qatar Sports Investment, which has a year to run.
“They represent the finance of international jihadist terrorism,”
“We have one, two or even three alternatives which will pay more money than Qatar.” he added.
Pogba enjoyed a hugely successful campaign last term, playing a key role in his side’s capturing of a domestic double as well as helping to guide Juventus to a Champions League final.
A move to the Nou Camp this summer seems unlikely given Barcelona are currently serving a transfer ban that will run until January 2016.
