The future of Paul Pogba (31) remains in the air. The four -year -old ban on the Frenchman was reduced to only 18 months after appeal at the end of 2024. It means that he has been able to train since the beginning of January, while he is also free to resume from the beginning of March.
However, will he return? Options can be limited with many of the top competitions in Europe, so that new players cannot be registered between the end of the winter window and the end of the current season. That is the case in France. And it is a Ligue 1club, Olympique de Marseille, which shows a strong interest in signing Pogba.
However, if the French international wants to join, he would have to wait until the summer. Speaking with L'équipe, Les Phocéens' sports director Medhi Benatia revealed that the signing of Pogba was considered in January. Although that movement did not flourish, he opened the door to a movement in the summer.
“We have thought about it (sign Pogba in January). We wanted to do it. The problem is that if we bring in Paul Pogba, who is not yet 'fit', it is logical to shake up our balances […] For a player who cannot participate in the end of the season? If something can be done, we will be delighted to welcome a player like Paul Pogba to give us a helping hand next year if the chance occurs, “he said.
