Pogba at OM, confirmation falls

With the signatures of Luiz Felipe, Amine Gouiri, Amar dedic and Ismaël Bennacer, OM completed a very promising winter transfer window, which makes its coach Roberto de Zerbi happy. A recruitment that could have been even more prestigious if the other tracks explored had resulted.

“The more champions there are, the more happy I am, it was not thatchained the Italian technician. It was a general assessment and maybe it will change. But at present, this decision has been made due to several factors. »» By the next offseason, the old bianconero has all the time necessary to get back in shape. Once he will be able and determined to regain his best level, he already knows that he will be welcome to the Old Port.
