Free from any contract since the termination of his contract with Juventus, Paul Pogba would make OM his priority for his next club.
What if the Paul Pogba rumor at Olympique de Marseille was ultimately not just a rumor? Announced in the viewfinder of the Marseille club since the announcement of the reduction of his sanction for doping, the French midfielder, officially free since last week and his termination of contract with Juventus Turin, could really continue his career on the edges of Canebière. And for good reason, according to information from TuttoJuve, the former Manchester United player would be open to a departure for Marseille and would even have made OM his priority for the rest of his career. The current third in Ligue 1 would therefore be a step ahead of other interested teams.
Pogba, a lover of OM
Paul Pogba's desire to continue his career with Marseille is not really surprising. As he confided in May 2018 in an interview with Canal Football Club, Pioche has been a lover and supporter of OM since his early childhood and gets this from his parents. “My father was Parisian but a Marseille supporter, my mother was a Marseille supporter. » Relaunching at OM after having experienced a terrible ordeal due to his suspension would therefore be a beautiful wink from destiny for the 2018 world champion.
Benatia works hard on the file
For its part, Olympique de Marseille would push hard to bring in the 32-year-old player. Indeed, according to La Tribune Olympienne, always very well informed on the mysteries of the Provençal club, Mehdi Benatia would work very hard on the file leading to Paul Pogba. After signing the very big deal Adrien Rabiot last September, the future sporting director of OM would like to strike another big blow on the transfer market by recovering the 2018 world champion.
A rhythm to find for Pogba
Suspended in December 2023 for four years following a positive doping test for testosterone metabolites, Paul Pogba saw his sanction reduced to 18 months and will be able to return to the field from next March. But with his last match dating back to October 6, 2023, the French international will have to get back into rhythm. And this may take time despite the fact that he spoke during his suspension. Now 31 years old, La Pioche may never return to his best level. The recruitment of Paul Pogba would therefore be a risky but attractive bet for OM.
