The sporting director of Marseille, Mehdi Benatia, commented on the rumors regarding the possible signing of Paul Pogba, who will serve his suspension in March.
— We need to be careful with the balance because we have quite a number of wonderful players in the midfield. Paul knows the respect I have for him. He is not just a top footballer; he is a true leader. Recently, he has suffered a lot. Paul had problems with his physical condition, and his body often let him down. And now there is also a suspension. Pablo Longoria talked about him and shared everything. He thinks very highly of him. Obviously, when such a player is on the market, you pay attention to him, — said Mehdi Benatia.
Let us remind you that Pogba successfully appealed his 4-year suspension for violating anti-doping rules at CAS. The suspension was reduced to 18 months and will end in March next year.
