The former Manchester United midfielder was given a doping ban on appeal from four years to eighteen months, which means he can be back on the field from March.
He is now a free agent after his deal with Juventus was terminated by mutual consent last month.
Longoria said: “Everyone talks to me about Paul Pogba! Paul is an extraordinary player, an extraordinary person, I met him at Juventus. I was the first to be happy that his suspension was reduced. Medhi Benatia (sporting director) has also a very good relationship with him.
“Yes, we sent him messages because we were happy for him. There are no advanced discussions. We will have an internal meeting this week about the objectives of the transfer window.”
“As far as Paul is concerned, we have to analyze it. As a club we are always keen to take advantage of opportunities and see great players playing for us, for example with Adrien (Rabiot) or (Pierre) Hojbjerg. There are no talks with Pogba, no meetings, I the door is not closed, but it generates a lot of speculation. These are mainly dreams and not reality in the market.”
