Pogba opens the door to OM, the big announcement!

The future of Paul Pogba never stops talking. Free to join the club of his choice after terminating his contract with Juventus Turin, the 2018 world champion set out in search of a new base. Announced in the viewfinder of numerous formations, the former Mancunian especially sees his name being associated with an arrival at OM. A rumor that continues to grow. During a press conference on Wednesday, Pablo Longoria put a piece back into the machine, not ruling out the possibility of recruiting the 31-year-old midfielder.

“ People talk to me more about Paul than about the results. He is an extraordinary player and person. I had the pleasure of sharing time with him at Juve. Medhi Benatia also has a very good relationship with him. But there is currently no discussion, replied the Spanish leader. We want to have an internal meeting this week to clearly set the objectives of the transfer window. Paul is a world-class player, we have to analyze the file because he is on the market », Confided the Marseille boss.

“Pogba didn’t come out of the woods to quickly say that he didn’t want to come to Marseille”

For Dave Appadoo, OM is right to believe in it after having managed to attract Adrien Rabiot, whose arrival seemed impossible a few months ago. “ I have the impression that Pablo Longoria is very flattered by the situation. Marseille has once again become the club of all possibilities. Remember the situation three or four years ago, when we look at the workforce and the possibilities of attractiveness of OM. Longoria has this ability to perform sleight of hand and create new situations », Explained the journalist on the L’Equipe channel.

And the fact that Paul Pogba does not deny the OM rumor makes Dave Appadoo think that the French international is not closed to the idea of ​​setting down his suitcase in the Marseille city. “ Pogba is one of the three biggest stars of French football. There is this little music which announces it to OM and which is not absurd, he whispered. Marseille brought in Rabiot, De Zerbi, Greenwood, Hojbjerg… This means that this club has become a club capable of bringing in these players. But what’s more, you see that Pogba didn’t come out of the woods to quickly say that he didn’t want to come to Marseille. This little music flatters OM. » As a reminder, the “Pioche” saw his sanction for doping reduced to 18 months of suspension. He will therefore be able to play competitively again from March 2025.
