A majority of Marseille supporters hope to see Paul Pogba finish the season in the OM jersey. But that might not be the best idea in the world.
This is the Christmas present that Olympique de Marseille dreams of, even if Pablo Longoria and Mehdi Benatia necessarily remain very cautious when they express themselves on this very sensitive subject. But seeing Roberto De Zerbi line up a midfielder where we could find Paul Pogba in addition to Adrien Rabiot would necessarily be an incredible story, and above all a hell of a duo for OM. However, in the file of the Pickaxenothing is simple, both because Pogba can have enormous financial claims, but above all it has been a while since he has played at the highest level, while he will celebrate next March, at the end of his suspension for doping, his 32 years. So many reasons that could tip the balance to the bad side for Olympique de Marseille. This is also what Pierre Ménès thinks, who thinks that the former Juventus midfielder has better things to do than sign for OM.
Pogba in Marseille, false good idea
For the former star consultant of Canal Football Club, the 1998 world champion will probably head towards North America rather than the Vélodrome, and according to Pierre Ménès, Paul Pogba will be right to make this choice. “ Paul Pogba at OM, that seems to be in the air, indeed the leaders of Marseille seem to be thinking about it. But, we must see that when Pogba is authorized to play after the end of his suspension, there will only be nine matches left this season for OM in the Championship. This would therefore be to get it back on track for next season. The problem is that we're talking about a guy who must have played 25 matches over the last three years, that's very, very few. He hasn't played at all for over a year now. Personally, I find this to be a huge risk. And I think that for Paul, it would be a better idea to go to MLS where he would immediately have star status and a star salary, but also lower expectations and footballing pretensions than in Ligue 1 where he would be eagerly awaited. », warns, on Youtube channel, Pierre Ménès.
