As the transfer market opens in a few days, Olympique de Marseille and the name of Paul Pogba have been associated for several weeks. Medhi Benatia spoke on this subject.
Invited to join Olympique de Marseille by Adrien Rabiot, Paul Pogba has caused a lot of ink to flow in the Marseille city. Free from any contract after his departure from Juventus, the French international midfielder will be authorized to play again in the coming weeks, after his anti-doping test.
Guest of l’After Foot on RMCMedhi Benatia spoke about the thorny issue by sending a strong message, while paying tribute to him.
“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.”
Before resuming : “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 you have to wait six months?“
Enough to undoubtedly dampen the enthusiasm of the supporters who were already imagining him with the Olympian jersey this winter.
