Paul Pogba at theABOUTthis is one of the rumors market of the moment. If the Marseille club has an interest in the midfielder, it is rather another very attractive profile which is recommended to Marseille.
Mercato OM: Pablo Longoria invited to forget Paul Pogba for Antoine Griezmann
As the winter transfer window approaches, speculation is rife with Olympique de Marseille. While the name of Paul Pogba regularly comes up in discussions, a former Marseille player, Jean-Charles De Bono, made a surprising proposal: recruit Antoine Griezmann. If he believes that the choice of Paul Pogba could unbalance the team, he assures that it would be preferable to recruit a versatile player like Antoine Griezmann.
“Pogba is good, I understand it’s a market opportunity, and the more talent the better, but. If Pogba comes you risk unbalancing your team by removing Rongier. It would be wrong to unbalance your team to bring in a player”de Bono told Marseille Football Club. He particularly wanted to recall Griezmann's attachment to OM which could be a determining factor.
“If OM really have the means to bring in a player of that standard then it’s Griezmann that I would bring in. He is also capable of playing in several positions and that would really be a huge plus in the squad. And what’s more, he loves OM, he has always claimed it”indicated the former OM player.
Antoine Griezmann, a difficult dream to achieve for Marseille
According to De Bono, the priority for Olympique de Marseille lies elsewhere than in midfield. “Even if it means taking a big player, you have to take a central defender”he recommended to Pablo Longoria. And if the idea of seeing Antoine Griezmann in Marseille to the detriment of Paul Pogba appeals to many supporters, it seems utopian for the moment.
The former French international is under contract with Atlético Madrid and does not seem to be considering leaving the Spanish club during the season. In addition, rumors rather send him to MLS at the end of his contract. However, the intervention of Jean-Charles De Bono relaunched the debate on the priorities of the Marseille transfer window.
