Paul Pogba is one of the announced targets of theABOUT for the market next winter. Much awaited on this burning issue, Roberto DeZerbithe coach of the Marseille club, has finally broken the silence.
Paul Pogba at OM? De Zerbi brings grist to the skeptics' mill
For several weeks, the rumor of a possible transfer of Paul Pogba to Olympique de Marseille has ignited social networks and the press. If Marseille supporters dream of seeing the 2018 world champion arrive at the Vélodrome, what does Roberto De Zerbi, OM coach, really think?
Asked about this after the Phocéens' 3-1 victory against RC Lens on Saturday, the Italian technician was rather evasive and without a clear opinion on the question. “Pogba? I like players who are strong. But at the moment there is nothing. I love my players. I know them well and I trust them”De Zerbi said at the microphone of beIN Sports.
If the Marseille technician did not close the door to a possible recruitment of Paul Pogba, he nevertheless tempered the expectations of the supporters. For the moment, no contact has been established with the player's entourage, it seems. However, news indicates quite the opposite with talks established with the former Juventus player.
The arrival of Paul Pogba in Marseille would be a major event for the club. The world champion would bring his experience, his technique and his media aura to OM.
De Zerbi confirms his attachment to OM
Furthermore, Roberto De Zerbi took the opportunity to confirm his attachment to the Marseille club. After leaving doubt about his future following the defeat against Auxerre, the Italian assured that he wanted to stay in Marseille. “I didn't need the victory to be convinced to stay in Marseille. I will give my best as long as I stay here”he said.
