The two Premier League powerhouses have both been tracking the Juventus star who is thought to be worth at least £60million.
Paris Saint-Germain have also been keeping a close eye on the 22-year-old Frenchman, with recent reports suggesting the Ligue 1 giants were looking at offloading Edinson Cavani and Marco Verratti in exchange for Pogba.
But Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo claim Pogba has become a top target for Barcelona.
With Xavi set to join Qatari club Al Sadd at the end of the season, Barca are looking for a natural long-term successor to fill the void left behind by the midfield maestro.
Paul Pogba has no shortage of admirers
Paul will go where he will feel good, where he will be happy
The report suggests Barcelona want to sign Pogba, but their current transfer embargo will prevent them from being able to land him before next year.
Also, Juventus are thought to be reluctant to sell their prize asset.
Pogba's agent Mino Raiola admitted earlier this month that his client will not move purely for financial reasons, telling French paper L'Equipe: "Now, if another club wants Pogba they need to shows us, and I'm not talking about money.
"Paul will go where he will feel good, where he will be happy."
