La Blaugrana watched the former Juventus star score two goals in their Champions League victory over Young Boys in midweek in the Champions League.
The club's general manager Pep Segura and technical directors Eric Abidal and Ramon Planes, are monitoring Pogba's situation closely as they look to make a move that would break the £100million barrier.
And Barca believe Pogba wants the move after his agent, Mino Raiola, angled for a transfer in the summer following France's World Cup triumph.
It was reported Pogba had told Ed Woodward and his teammates he wanted to leave following his reported row with Mourinho after signing for a then world-record £89m only two years ago.
But, United's manager had since given the captain's armband to Pogba whenever Antonio Valencia was missing in the squad.
