OM has an interest in signing Paul Pogba after his suspension. But Pablo Longoria has a particular strategy for this issue.
Nothing stops Olympique de Marseille from dreaming… of the transfer window. On the pitch, PSG conditioned the title ambitions of the Provençal club with its big victory at the Vélodrome in the first part of the season. But when it comes to Pablo Longoria’s ambitions with the squad, anything seems permitted. And the president of OM still does not rule out doing “a Rabiot coup” by recruiting Paul Pogba. This is good, the French international is looking for an ambitious European club after being released from his contract by Juventus Turin. His suspension for doping shattered his career, but the midfielder still has time to return to a very good level if he puts all the ingredients in place. He will be 32 years old on March 15. And four days before, on March 11, his suspension will officially end.
Longoria will wait two months
At the end of 2024, OM’s interest in “La Pioche” was revealed and even relaunched by people close to the matter. His proximity to Mehdi Benatia, the sporting director of the Provençal club, was inevitably highlighted. Especially since Pogba does not already want to go to the United States or Saudi Arabia, and dreams of returning to a level allowing him to find the French team for the 2026 World Cup. Pablo Longoria knows this perfectly, but according to TMW, he won’t move an inch in the next few months. The Italian media claims that the president of OM will study the question in March, when his suspension ends, given that it is obvious to him that he will hardly be able to be useful to Roberto De’s squad. Zerbi for the 2024-2025 season. If there were to be recruitment, it would be with a view to the following season, which explains why OM intends to take their time on this issue. Even if it means being overtaken because clubs will inevitably try their luck at the start of 2025.
