Transfers Barcelona join the Paul Pogba party, Inter Milan to sign Stevan Jovetic?

ESPN FC's Shaka Hislop and Janusz Michallik discuss where Paul Pogba is most likely to end up this summer, with PSG and Real Madrid among the clubs reportedly pursuing the Juve star.
Premier League transfer spending set a new 760 million pound record.

It would be fair to say that most, if not all, of Europe's biggest sides are chasing the signature of Juventus midfielder . Most recently, Real Madrid's name has been tied to the Frenchman's, but Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain -- and, no doubt, countless more clubs -- have also been rumoured to be chasing the 22-year-old.

Now, though, former Juve star Pavel Nedved has told that Barcelona can be added to that list. The former Czech Republic international was quoted as saying: "We know that Barcelona and other great clubs want him, but he has a contract with us."

So, it should come as little surprise, then, that the striker is rumoured to be on his way out -- despite . According to the , former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is interested in bringing Jovetic to Inter Milan.

The two clubs reportedly have entered into negotiations, with Inter hopeful of securing a loan with an option to buy. The sticking point, reports the Mirror, is that City are only interested in selling the player outright.

Tottenham Hotspur are so desperate to get off their books that they're willing to pay a percentage of his wages while the striker plays for another club.

The reports that the Togolese star, whose contract is set to expire in 2016, is unwilling to move anywhere unless his current £100,000-a-week wage is met and -- not surprisingly -- no club so far has been willing to match it.

Time will tell if this new incentive will finally convince a club (we're looking at you, West Ham) to take a punt on the mercurial 31-year-old.
