OM's next transfer window is starting to take shape. A secret project is already underway to bring Paul Pogba at the Olympique de Marseille.
Mercato OM: Mehdi Benatia contacts Paul Pogba, negotiations are progressing
Free from any contract since his official separation from Juventus Turin, Paul Pogba has attracted the interest of many clubs, but Olympique de Marseille seems to be a preferred destination for the player. Driven by the influence of its sports advisor, Mehdi Benatia, the management of OM is already active in the transfer window with a view to convincing the 2018 world champion to join its ranks.
La Tribune Olympienne reports that negotiations are well underway between the two parties. “It’s concrete”says a source close to the club, insisting on Mehdi Benatia's efforts to seduce his former teammate at Juventus, Paul Pogba. This project is not limited to a simple signature. OM management would consider recruiting the player this winter, despite his inability to play before March due to his suspension for doping.
Gradual integration into Olympique de Marseille
The objective of this deal with OM would be twofold: to allow Paul Pogba to regain optimal physical condition and to gradually integrate him into the squad at the end of the season. The main idea nevertheless remains to have it in full possession of its means for the 2025-2026 season. This bet, both daring and strategic, could pay off, offering OM a significant reinforcement in the midfield and Paul Pogba a chance to relaunch his career.
The idea of seeing a Pogba-Rabiot duo is gaining momentum in the Marseille city. With this carefully developed plan, Marseille shows that it aspires to strengthen its squad while banking on the potential of players of international stature. An adventure that could revive a midfielder in search of new challenges.
