OM hosted Losc this Saturday evening as part of the 15e day of Ligue 1, with a draw which frustrated the Vélodrome – Lille having equalized in the 87the minute, by Diakité, after Merlin opened the score in the 17the minute (1-1). For the occasion, former Olympians took to the stands, such as Samir Nasri and Dimitri Payet, the latter having lingered at the microphone of the broadcaster beIN Sports.
Still very attached to OM – which he wishes to join as soon as his career as a professional sportsman is over, according to an agreement made with President Longoria – the Reunion playmaker, given a standing ovation by the stadium, did not escape the hot topic of moment: the transfer window and the Pogba case, willingly sent to Marseille.
“It’s a dream”
Released from his contract with Juventus and soon able to return to competition – next March – his suspension for alleged doping having been reduced from four years to 18 months – the French international would be a good pick for OM according to Dimitri Payet : “ Like all Marseille supporters, of course it’s a dream. Afterwards is it true or not, I can’t tell you more. I rubbed shoulders with him in the selection, he rubbed shoulders with other former Marseille players, he knows where he is going. He has already played here, a club like Marseille can only be beneficial for him. »
The day before at a press conference, Valentin Rongier, although concerned and potentially threatened by such reinforcement, did not say anything else: “ We know the quality of Pogba and if he one day signs for OM, that would be a good thing… » A few days earlier, Adrien Rabiot also gave his welcome message: “ Of course, I would love to play with Paul. We greatly invite him to come and play at Olympique de Marseille. What we are putting in place is really very important. (…)
If he wants to come, it is with great pleasure. »
