体坛英语新闻：Juninho suggests Pogba to join Barca not PSG

PARIS, May 14 (Xinhua) -- Retired Brazilian star Juninho has believed that Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba should not consider a move back to his born-place Paris but to join his Serie A side's Champions League final rivals Barcelona.

The former Lyon player told French radio station RMC that Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain would not suit the 22-year-old sensation but Barca instead.

"Barca, if they are able to buy him, would be good," said Juninho. "Andres Iniesta's level has started to drop a bit and Barca could continue to win for years with Pogba in the team."

The French international impressed in Juve's second leg match of Champions League semifinals visiting Real Madrid as the Serie A club claimed a 3-2 aggregate win to set up a final against Barca next month in Berlin.

Pogba, who signed a new five-year deal at Juve in October 2014, is expected to be a target for the majority of Europe's top clubs this summer, with Les Parisiens leading the chase by offering an 80 million euros fee.

Juninho, however, said he should turn his back to the PSG and explore other options, like Barca.

"With their style of play, a 4-3-3 format, it would be ideal ( for Pogba)," he said. "At Real Madrid he would need more time to adjust. I would choose Barca and I would never return to France."
