In the mixed zone, OM midfielder Adrien Rabiot was questioned about the possibility of the transfer of his compatriot Paul Pogba to Marseille. The former Juve player, free since the termination of his contract, will be able to play again in March, once his suspension for doping is definitively lifted.
What if OM, after having achieved a major coup by recruiting Adrien Rabiot last summer, still had a major surprise in store for us this winter with the transfer, very hypothetical at this stage, of Paul Pogba to Canebière?

“I would love to play with Paul,” Rabiot recently told us, who was hoping for this gift for the end of year celebrations. After his suspension for doping, Paul Pogba will be able to play again in March, and can already start training with a view to a possible return to the field in the coming weeks.
Concerning such a signature, on the other hand, OM is moving cautiously, without however ruling out such a move. Club president Pablo Longoria, without completely closing the door to this possibility, does not want to dangle false hopes to supporters who have been dreaming since Rabiot spoke out on the subject.
Preserve balance
Asked about the progress of the file as he left the mixed zone after speaking to journalists on Sunday evening, Rabiot escaped with a smile: “I don't know. I'm not a manager. “
Free since the termination of his contract with Juve, Paul Pogba is associated with rumors which have embarrassed the Marseille leaders in recent times, like Medhi Benatia, advisor to President Pablo Longoria, exceptional guest of the After Foot, on RMC, on December 19.
“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. Pablo (Longoria) then spoke about him, he said everything. He obviously appreciates it a lot. you see him 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 he is. Should we wait 6 months?”
