OM, Benatia finally speaks on Pogba

Mehdi Benatia, the OM sports advisor, reacted to the rumor announcing Paul Pogba as a possible future recruit for his club.

Paul Pogba has had his suspension for doping reduced to 18 months. Which means that it could be operational from next March. Among the destinations that have been mentioned for the French international is Olympique de Marseille. But is this a real lead?

Patrice Evra, former Olympian, raised this possibility a few weeks ago. During an intervention on RMC, he imagined a marriage between his former teammate and one of the biggest French clubs. A bit like Adrien Rabiot’s commitment to the Phocaeans.

Benatia assures that there is nothing concrete

However, this possibility is currently just a simple rumor without any basis. This was assured by Mehdi Benatia, the OM sports advisor, in an interview with the Italian daily Tuttosport. “Pat and Paul are my friends… (laughs) Pogba is a Juve player, I won’t allow myself to comment. On a human level, I am happy that his suspension has been reduced and that he can return to play quickly. »

Benatia knows Pogba quite well since the two men played for several seasons together within the Old Lady. We can therefore imagine that the Franco-Moroccan is sincere when he says that there is no contact with the 98 world champion.
