The Pogba soap opera at OM continues. This Monday, it was Dimitri Payet’s turn to comment on the potential arrival of the French international in Marseille.
What was initially just a simple rumor launched by Patrice Evra in October is gaining more and more momentum, the possible arrival of Paul Pogba at Olympique de Marseille continues to cause a lot of ink to flow. If certain club players, like Adrien Rabiot, were very favorable to his arrival, “La Pioche” also received the approval of former club executives, such as Dimitri Payet.
However, the former OM attacking midfielder wanted to clarify his position, there is no question of him playing matchmaker by directly contacting the 2018 world champion. According to him, Pogba already has all the necessary elements to decide whether he wants, or not, to take up the Olympian challenge.
A dream environment for OM
“Send him a message?” No, that’s not my style.” declared the Vasco da Gama player this Monday on BFM Marseille. “I think Paul is pretty big. He has already played at the Vélodrome, like at Euro 2016. He knows what Marseille is. We’ve talked about it enough, whether in the selection or him with his brothers who played in Ligue 1. Afterwards, knowing if it’s the right time for him, does he want it…”
Payet nonetheless remains aware of the impact that the arrival of the native of Lagny-sur-Marne would have in the Marseille midfield.
“Pogba, Rabiot, Højbjerg in the middle, it’s starting to cause problems all the same,” he concluded.
