Where will Pogba play? It seems to have become the game of the winter and instead it is an important question for the player who wants to return to the field as quickly as possible.

Rivers of words have been written about the teams that are reportedly courting him, from Arabia to MLS, passing through City and Corinthians, a Brazilian club.

Almost all the doors that seemed to have opened for the now former Juventus player have practically closed, but one remains open for Marseille which was among the clubs that had been talked about. Yesterday President Longoria first explained the club’s moment

«Right now, we are in a positive dynamic, so we don’t want to change the balance that has been created in the team, especially in recent weeks. A market is a matter of opportunity. There will be movement, some players don’t have enough minutes for their liking. We made large investments this summer, we must also pay attention to economic management. We will seize opportunities if there are any, but maintaining the balance of the group”

Then, he directly mentioned the case of the French international: «everyone talks to me about Paul Pogba! Paul is an extraordinary player, an extraordinary person, I met him at Juventus. I was the first happy to see his penalty reduced. Medhi Benatia also has a great relationship with him. Yes, we texted him because we were happy for him. When I was at Juve, he was a superstar, he came 3rd in the Ballon d’Or, and my friends asked me a lot of things and he always helped me. There are no advanced discussions. We will have an internal appointment this week for the market objectives.”

«On Paul, we need to analyze it. As a club, we always have the pleasure of seizing opportunities, of seeing great players play for us, for example with Adrien (Rabiot) or Hojbjerg. There are no discussions with Pogba, no appointments. I’m not closing the door, but it creates a lot of speculation. They are above all dreams rather than reality in the market”
