While Paul Pogba prepares his big return to the pitch, Emmanuel Petit dreams of seeing the French midfielder in Ligue 1, and more precisely at Olympique de Marseille.
Having passed through Le Havre during his training, Paul Pogba never played in Ligue 1. If his name was sometimes associated with that of PSG during its prosperous period, the midfielder ultimately only played for two clubs: Manchester United in England and Juventus in Italy. For his big return to the football fields next March, Pogba could therefore discover a new championship, unless he were to choose a project in the Premier League or Serie A. But in recent weeks, it is more on the side of Ligue 1 that Pogba is mentioned. Free since his departure from Juve, he is serving the end of his 18-month suspension for a positive test. Away from the field since September 2023, Pogba is currently training in Miami to arrive in good shape at his new club. But then who will be the lucky one, what will be the team that will take the Pogba bet this winter? Emmanuel Petit hopes it will be OM.
“Playing for Marseille is something special”
“Marseille is doing well on the transfer market thanks to Mehdi Benatia. He's doing a great job bringing in some very exciting and good players for the team. Playing for Marseille is something special. This city lives for the club. Regarding Pogba, he has probably been linked with a move there. I know he trains alone, works hard and is in very good physical shape. But there is a big difference between working in the gym and working on the field with your teammates. When was the last time he touched a ball? It was 18 months ago with Juventus, which means it will be a gamble for whichever club takes him. He will have a feeling of revenge, especially since his image has been destroyed for two seasons. We all know how good Pogba is when he is in his right mind. For the club that recruits him, it will be a win-win agreement. We'll have to tell him to do what he wants to do on the pitch while helping him get back to his best level.”launched, on a Swedish online gaming site, the former French player, who thinks that Marseille is the ideal place for Pogba to relaunch his career, with his sights set on the 2026 World Cup with the Blues.
