This is the burning issue that has been driving the news at Olympique de Marseille for several weeks: will Paul Pogba join the Marseille club? Mehdi Benatia, advisor to the president of OM, provided a response.
Guest on the showAfter Footthe leader of theABOUT Medhi Benatia raised the matter again Paul Pogba :
“Adri (Rabiot) talked about it because we asked him about it, he is well educated so he answered. They are close with Paul. They have a very good relationship, they won together. He said he was a top player. It didn’t bother me. On the contrary, if I had been asked the question, I would also have highlighted a teammate. (…) Can he come this winter? Today we have to pay attention to balance, we have very efficient players in the middle. Paul knows the respect and affection I have for him. Beyond the top player, he is a real leader. He has suffered a lot in recent seasons, with physical problems, his body has failed him quite a bit. He then got his suspension. Pablo (Longoria) spoke about himself, he said everything. He likes it a lot. Obviously, you see it on the market, you want to take a look. Today, concretely, can OM afford to bring back a player like Pogba if he is not physically ready and we have to wait 6 months? » declared the Marseille leader on RMC.
