Pogba displays his criteria for his next club

Free since his departure from Juventus and authorized to return to competition in March at the end of his suspension for doping, Paul Pogba does not want to accept just any offer. The midfielder is ambitious and wants to play in the Champions League.

Determined to get back on land as quickly as possible… but not just anywhere. Free since the end of his adventure at Juventus, and soon authorized to play again after his suspension for doping, Paul Pogba (31 years old) spoke about his future, during a live Twitch with the French streamer AmineMaTue. And he has ambitious criteria in mind.

“Russia is not the objective”

“There are proposals, then there are some interesting things, and some not very interesting things… Russia, all that, there have been proposals, but that's not the objective. We have other objectives. A club that plays in the Champions League? Why not? If it comes, of course, why not? Afterwards it doesn't depend on me, it depends on many others. things.”

Suspended four years for doping after testing positive for testosterone in August 2023, Paul Pogba saw his sanction reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) last October. The midfielder will be able to play again from March 2025 and can already train since January. In recent weeks, Pogba's name has come back insistently on the OM side where Adrien Rabiot, his partner in the France team, has made several appeals to him.

In December during his mid-season report to the press, Pablo Longoria gave an ambiguous response on the possibility of recruiting the French international to OM. “At the moment, there is no advanced discussion for various reasons,” he said. “I respect this world-class player enormously. We have to analyze the situation because he is in the transfer window.” The leader explained that he was not closing the door, while insisting on the absence of discussions. “For the moment, these are more speculations and a dream, more than a reality,” he concluded.
