NAIJA NEWS Paul Pogba is finally starting to see a positive outcome to his situation. Initially suspended for four years after testing positive for banned substances, the midfielder ultimately saw his sentence reduced to 18 months.
This legal decision opens up the possibility for him to return to the field in March, although his physical capabilities remain uncertain. This return should not, however, take place under the colors of Juventus, his club having expressed its intention to terminate his contract.
Since this summer, Olympique de Marseille, which has already managed to attract Adrien Rabiot, has been closely following the evolution of Paul Pogba’s situation. Although Mehdi Benatia, the club’s sporting director, remains tight-lipped about potential interest in the midfielder, he has sought to quell the rumors. In an interview forTuttoSporthe declared: “Pat [Évra] and Paul are friends… Pogba is a Juventus player, I do not allow myself to comment. On a human level, I am happy that his suspension has been reduced and that he will be able to play again soon. »
This statement seems to temper speculation, at least temporarily, around Pogba’s possible arrival in Marseille. For now, the player remains suspended until March, leaving open the question of his future once his sentence is served.
