The Spanish paper maintains Juve gave the Blaugrana preferential treatment after a meeting on June 18.
As PSG, Manchester City and Real Madrid want to intercept, Barca are hoping to set up a summit with Juventus next Wednesday.
The Catalans are put under a transfer embargo until June 2016, so would be able to sign Pogba early and leave him in Turin for another year.
In Italy, Barcelona remain the favourites, but today Chelsea have crept into the scenario.
Tuttosport insist Jose Mourinho is hugely impressed by Pogba and considering €10m per season wages (over £7m).
Chelsea do have a very important advantage in this transfer race and that is represented by Oscar, who Juve Coach Max Allegri openly praised.
The Brazilian is valued at €40m, though the Bianconeri won’t go above €35m.
As for the English media, they continue to tip Manchester City as the favourites to take Pogba, though that does not seem to be reflected elsewhere.
Juventus have made it clear they’ve no intention of selling Pogba for less than €100m.
