Barcelona have not given up on signing Paul Pogba from Manchester United before the Spanish transfer window closes on Aug. 31, despite the English market closing on Thursday, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The Spanish publication says that sources from the La Liga giants still believe that the deal is not dead even though United would be unable to sign a replacement if they part ways with the France international.
Mundo Deportivo reports Pogba is still keen on leaving Old Trafford due to his lack of relationship with manager Jose Mourinho and adds that Barcelona officials are in regular contact with his agent Mino Raiola.
The Catalans have money to spend following the Thursday's departures of Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes to Everton and they believe that Pogba would be the most exciting signing they could do before the Spanish transfer window closes.
The Premier League transfer window may have closed, but there's plenty happening elsewhere in Europe -- and Real Madrid could be about to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara.
Radio station Onda Cero has reported that new Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui wants Thiago to fill the gap left by Mateo Kovacic, who has joined Chelsea on loan, amid continuing speculation that Luka Modric could also leave.
Thiago -- who would cost around €50m -- worked with Lopetegui during his time in charge of the Spain team, and Onda Cero said he was keen on a move back to Spain, having come through the ranks at Barcelona, would cost around €50m.
