Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has been the subject of a £50m bid from Barcelona, but the reigning Serie A champions have instantly rejected the offer, according to reports.

Pogba, 22, has been linked with a move to a host of European clubs this season, including Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.

However, Chelsea are now Barcelona's main rivals for his signature, despite the La Liga side having their £50m offer rejected, reports Sport.

Pogba, who has 22 caps for France, left Old Trafford for Juventus in 2012, where he has won back-to-back league titles.
