Could a dream that seemed improbable come true? Olympique de Marseille, which had been cautious about the possible arrival of Paul Pogba, today seems interested again in the idea of attracting the 2018 world champion. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Marseille club is now exploring this avenue more actively.
A renewed ambition for Pogba
Last December, Pablo Longoria, president of OM, brushed aside the rumors surrounding a transfer of Paul Pogba, describing this scenario as a “dream” rather than “reality”. However, the situation has changed. The Court of Arbitration for Sport recently reduced the sanction against the midfielder, making his availability possible from March 2025.
According to Italian sources, OM have intensified their contacts with the player’s entourage in recent days. The objective? Study the conditions of a possible transfer. Pogba, looking for a new start after difficult months marked by injuries and non-sporting setbacks, could see OM as an opportunity to relaunch his career in a familiar environment, in Ligue 1.
Pogba at OM, we’ll talk about it again.
A dream to come true
At 31, Pogba remains a notable figure in world football. His experience at Juventus, combined with his impressive record, would make him a recruit of choice for an ambitious OM. Currently second in Ligue 1 under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi, the Marseille club is aiming high, and the arrival of a player of this caliber would be a strong signal sent to its competitors.
However, OM will have to play finely. La Pioche, despite his undeniable talent, comes out of a complicated period and represents a bet as risky as it is exciting. It remains to be seen whether Marseille’s ambitions will be able to materialize financially, because even a Pogba in search of recovery is not a trivial operation on an economic level.
An expected decision
For the moment, no advanced discussions have been confirmed, but OM’s interest is very real. In a context where the club seeks to consolidate its positive dynamic while dreaming of new exploits, the arrival of Pogba could be the icing on the cake. Marseille supporters are already starting to imagine their team strengthened by this immensely talented player.
