Officially released by Juventus Turin, Paul Pogba is regularly cited as a target for OM. A rumor to which Roberto De Zerbi publicly reacted after Marseille's success in Lens.
Suspended for doping for more than a year, Paul Pogba was officially authorized to return to competition in March by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Excellent news for the French international, who was just waiting for this and who will be able to resume the course of his career. But where? This is the question while the world champion is free, after the termination of his contract by mutual agreement at Juventus Turin. The Saudi and American tracks were quickly mentioned for Paul Pogba, but the 31-year-old wants to continue his career in Europe in order to remain competitive and aim for a place in the French team group for the 2026 World Cup.
De Zerbi responds to Pogba rumor after Lens victory
With this in mind, a signing with OM remains possible while his name is mentioned almost every day in the Marseille city. Roberto De Zerbi was questioned about this after his team's victory in Lens (1-3). “Pogba? I like players who are strong” first launched the Italian coach, who would undoubtedly not say no to a trio composed of Pogba, Rabiot and Hojbjerg in midfield, before qualifying all the same. “But at the moment there is nothing. I love my players. I know them well and I trust them” concluded Roberto De Zerbi, who will not say more about Paul Pogba at Olympique de Marseille, although this track would be active thanks to Mehdi Benatia.
The advisor of Pablo Longoria, future sporting director of the Marseille club, knows the former Juventus Turin midfielder well and contacted him after the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. To show him his joy at the idea of seeing him return to competition of course, but not only that. The Moroccan leader has in the back of his mind the intention of bringing Paul Pogba to Marseille. A potential major signing which Roberto De Zerbi however refuses to talk about while his midfielder shone in Lens, arranged in a new organization with Rongier supporting Rabiot and Hojbjerg.
