Free as air, Paul Pogba has still not chosen his new club. And if OM seems to still be on the case, the file drags on and begins to raise questions. Livefoot.fr takes a complete look at the situation.

The Italian press is clear, OM is indeed a hot option in the Pogba file. La Gazzetta Dello Sport recently indicated that the Marseille board was on the offensive. But on the supporters' side, we are getting very impatient! The Pogba rumor has now lasted for two months. It is difficult to understand why the French midfielder, free since his contract termination with Juventus, is still not from Marseille…
-OM is not ready
The first explanation of the Pogba file can be found first at OM. Indeed, in the Marseille squad, there is not yet the space, sportingly and economically, to accommodate such a player. Medhi Benatia and Pablo Longoria must sell at least two players before being able to consider the arrival of the French world champion. If the Chancel Mbemba case is a priority, that of Amine Harit would be just as much. In the event of departure, the Moroccan would free up a place on the payroll but also in Paul Pogba's playing sector.
A knee problem?
This winter, Paul Pogba took advantage of the Central American sun. Photographed in the Dominican Republic with a Juventus jersey on his back (Flocked Zidane, because Monsieur has good taste), the former Manchester United also spent a head in Costa Rica. And according to Nacion, the country's largest newspaper, it was for medical reasons that Pogba came. The Frenchman would have undergone a small operation on one of his knees, in a clinic for the stars. It remains to be seen whether this knee is an element of concern in the case and whether Paul Pogba needs time to get back to health. As a reminder, his suspension for doping was reduced from 4 years to 18 months and he can therefore return to competition next March.
