While the Club World Cup is preparing to open its doors, bringing together the elite of planetary football, a name that we no longer dared to hope to see at this level resurfaces spectacularly. Paul Pogba, the 2018 world champion, whose career was put in parentheses by a long suspension, could well invite himself to the party. A crazy rumor, a scenario worthy of a Hollywood film which, if he materialized, would represent one of the most unexpected twists of the football year. But how can the old MANCHERSTER United and Juventus are devil, could he be propelled under the fires of this prestigious competition?
The idea, as surprising as it is, was launched by the former Manchester City striker, Paul Dickov. According to him, Paul Pogba, free from any contract since the end of his suspension for doping last March, could Sign with one of the teams participating in the Club World Cup just before the start of the tournament! A daring maneuver that would offer “the draw” a dream platform to prove to the whole world that it still has the level to shine at the highest level. “If Paul Pogba can come back even to its best at its best level, then the Club World Cup would be an incredible platform to go and show everyone what it is capable of,” said Dickov.
Paul Pogba's unexpected return?
After almost two years without official competition, the challenge is huge for Pogba. But Dickov insists on the intrinsic talent of the player: “His talent is visible by everyone, and we all know that it did not work at Manchester United for one reason or another, but there is no doubt that there has always been a high -level player in him and he will be desperate to find the grounds just to replay. »» The World Cup, with its global media coverage and the quality opposition, would thus be the ideal theater for a resurrection.
Pogba, the crazy bet that could shake the World Cup?
If the idea is attractive, the question of the destination remains complete. Paul Pogba was seen in an Inter Miami match in February, fueling the rumors of a transfer to MLS. The Saudi Pro League clubs were also cited as potential falls. However, the Inter Miami of Lionel Messi and Al-Hilal (only Saudi representative) both participate in this club World Cup. Will one of these two teams dare this crazy and last minute bet to attach the services, even temporarily, of a player as talented as Pogba, in search of redemption?
The hypothesis of a return from Paul Pogba via the Club World Cup is enough to ignite imaginations. Between the need for the player to revive and the opportunity for a club to make a resounding media and sporting blow, all the ingredients are gathered for an improbable scenario. If the feasibility of such a last minute operation remains to be demonstrated, the simple evocation of this possibility adds a dose of suspense and excitement to an already eagerly awaited competition. The transfer window sometimes has surprises in store for us, and it would undoubtedly be one of the most beautiful.
