Barcelona's president didn't want to talk about specific names out of respect to their respective clubs

FC Barcelona haven't ruled out adding to their first team squad this summer. That is the message Josep Maria Bartomeu gave following Barça's 2-1 victory over Sevilla in the Spanish Super Cup final.

Bartomeu suggested that more players will leave the club before the window closed but didn't rule out incomings either. When asked about Paul Pogba, the president said: "I won't talk about names. We have respect for all clubs and there's 20 days left in the transfer window."

Barça's president said that the club would be prepared to make more signings, depending on who departs. "Let's see which players leave in the next few days. The team is focused on LaLiga, so it's better to ask those responsible for transfers about those topics." This was in reference to Eric Abidal, the director of football, his right-hand man, Ramon Planes and Pep Segura.

Pogba's name was put back on the radar following his declarations about not being able to say what he truly feels because he'd be fined by Manchester United.
