Marseille will look again in a step for Paul Pogba at the end of the season after his choice against the signing of the midfielder in January.
Pogba is a free agent after leaving Juventus in November with both the club and the player who wants a new start after a second disappointing talisman in Turin.
The winner of the World Cup in France was banned for a period of four years after his positive testing of hormones, but his penalties were reduced to 18 months when appeals. He is qualified to play again in March.
He makes a attractive acquisition of any ambitious club and Marcel, who is second in the first division, suitable for the bill.
I told MEDHI Benatia L’Equipe, “We have thought about it [signing Pogba in January].
“We wanted to do that. The problem is, if we brought Paul Pogba, who was not right yet, is it logical to get rid of our team to the player who will not be able to participate at the end of the season?
“If it is possible to do something, we will be pleased to welcome a player like Paul Pogba to give us a helping hand next year, if the opportunity is presented.”
United’s return?
Since the transport window is now closed-different rules are applied throughout Europe to whether the clubs can register free agents-it seems likely that the 31-year-old must wait until the summer until anyone moves.
Pogba has recently disturbed a return to Manchester United with a message on social media, and Rio Ferdinand will definitely look at this possibility.
“You want to think he will do that [be going somewhere]. Certainly it should go somewhere.
“Pogba in United? I will go and train with us and let us see what you have. I will do it. I was doing it already. I would like to say come and reach your fitness and let us take a little look.”
