Pablo Longoria makes huge announcement about Paul Pogba

Where will Paul Pogba play when he returns from suspension next March? If a Manchester City rumor leaked to the press, it was quickly denied, while the Galatasaray option is also mentioned in the Turkish media. At the same time, there was also talk of Olympique de Marseille, who had already enlisted his sidekick Adrien Rabiot last summer, also free of any contract at the time. During a press conference organized in Marseille to take stock at mid-season, Pablo Longoria responded to the rumor.

“At the moment, we are in a positive dynamic, so we do not want to change the balance that has been created in the team, especially in the last few weeks.

When I was at Juve he was a superstar and my friends asked me a lot of things, he always helped me. There are no advanced discussions. We are going to have an internal meeting this week for the transfer window objectives”.
