Paul Pogba, 31, has revenge to take on football. Suspended for doping on September 11, 2023, the leader of the 2018 world champion French team saw his sanction reduced from four years to 18 months and will officially be able to play again on March 11. The player was released by Juventus and, according to Italian media, would like to play again in a European championship and not go into exile in Saudi Arabia or MLS (even though he probably already has XXL offers from certain Saudi Pro clubs League).
In Ligue 1, it is said that OM could welcome “La Pioche” after hiring Adrien Rabiot in September. Patrice Evra launched the idea, Mehdi Benatia (advisor to President Pablo Longoria) had his friend Paulo on the phone and Adil Rami also pushed his former Blues teammate to sign for the Phocaeans. But nothing is done. THE Channel Football Club of Sunday thus mentioned the possible arrival of Pogba in Marseille during the next winter transfer window. But Laure Boulleau turned the discussion upside down between the evening speakers.
“Not the right place” for Laure Boulleau
“I think it’s not the right place, psychologically for him and physically because he will have to get back on his feet, especially since in midfield they (the Marseillais) have a bit of what it takes. If he was a side, I would have told him ‘go ahead’ because they need full-backs. It’s more of a hypothesis, but the PFC is pretty good for him”launched the former PSG side. “The PFC? Are you giving us the PFC? »reacted Hervé Mathoux, surprised by the opinion of his CFC colleague. “Yes, why not”she replied.
After his six eventful years at Manchester United and his abortive return to Juve, Pogba would probably aim higher than Paris FC, even if the takeover of the club by the Arnault family could turn everything upside down within French football. For the moment, the residents of Stade Charléty are playing in Ligue 2 and are feverish leaders as mid-season approaches. The success of the PFC in the elite is not certain and participation in the European Cup in the coming years seems illusory, even with the advice of Jürgen Klopp, the Red Bull group being an 11% shareholder.
