The probability of Paul Pogba transferring to OM remains high a few weeks before the end of his suspension for doping. A recruitment dreamed of by Olympian supporters, a little less by Marseille players.
If the arrival of Adrien Rabiot in Marseille had been a bolt from the blue, it is nothing compared to a possible transfer of Paul Pogba to Olympique de Marseille. Part of the French team, world champions in 2018, La Pioche is one of the most prominent footballers of the last 10 years. Above all, he remains an infinitely talented midfielder with the ball. Having played for Juventus and Manchester United in his career, he would significantly improve the value of the Olympian squad. While rumors announce it ever closer to Canebière, Marseille supporters are in the middle of a daydream.
The Marseille locker room is tense for Pogba
A warm welcome undoubtedly awaits Pogba in the event of an official signing. However, the temperature will be much lower in the OM locker room according to the Spanish media Transfers. According to his information, some Marseille executives are reluctant to welcome the French international community into their team. The fear is above all to see him disrupt a team and a group which has been going strong since the start of the season with a second place in Ligue 1 and total support for Roberto De Zerbi's game plan, despite a few failures at the Vélodrome.
Paul Pogba is renowned for having a strong character, whether at club or national level. The threat of internal tensions is serious enough to make the Marseille management doubt the merits of the operation. In order not to “ disrupt the harmony of the locker room “, she could decide to abandon the transfer and thus frustrate all the people of Marseille. However, what remains unknown is the crucial opinion in this matter of a certain Roberto de Zerbi. Having played in Serie A and the Premier League, the Italian coach knows the value of the player. Will he push for the arrival of Paul Pogba? Whatever happens, it will be up to Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia to decide.
