Marseilles will again consider a move for Paul Pogba at the end of the season after choosing the signature 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 disappointing second spell in Turin.
The winner of the French World Cup was banned for four years after testosterone positive tests, but its ratification was reduced to 18 months in appeal. He is eligible to play again in March.
It makes an attractive acquisition for every ambitious club and Marseille, who are second in League 1, fit the bill.
OM Sporting Manager Medhi Benatia told L’Equipe: “We thought about it (Pogba signature in January).
“We wanted to do it. The problem is, if it brings to Paul Pogba, who is not yet appropriate, makes sense to move our team for a player who will not be able to participate at the end of the season?
“If something can be done, we will be happy to welcome a player like Paul Pogba to give us a helping hand next year, if the opportunity is presented.”
United Return?
Since the transport window is now closed-and the different rules apply throughout Europe to whether the clubs can register free agents-it is likely that the 31-year-old will have to wait until summer to make anyone make the move their.
Pogba recently crossed a return to Manchester United with a social media message and Rio Ferdinand will surely consider the opportunity.
The former united defender said to Rio presents: “You would like to believe that he will (go somewhere). Surely he has to go somewhere.
‘Pogba at United? I would go to come and train with us and let’s see what you have. I would do that. I would already do it. I would say they come and match and let’s take a little look. ”
