This week, Adrien Rabiot campaigned in favor of the arrival of Pogba. “I would advise him to come to Marseille, confided the international tricolor. Paul is a talented player. If he regains all his physical abilities, if he is in good spirits, he remains a top player. It’s been a while since he last played, it would be difficult for him to get back to a high level right away. I came because I believe in the project, because there is a great coach. If there are players of Pogba’s talent interested, of course I would only tell them positive things. I also want to play with the best players. »
