Pogba still cannot return to the field. |
On March 28, Marseille President Pablo Longoria confirmed: "We have decided not to recruit Pogba as a free agent this season. The two sides have talked, but we realize that Pogba's recovery process takes a long time and could cause an imbalance in the current squad."
This is not the only obstacle preventing Pogba from moving to Marseille. In early February, coach Roberto De Zerbi also spoke frankly about Pogba's situation: "No one can break the balance in my dressing room. That will not happen as long as I am the coach."
"Pogba is a great player, but we need to clearly define his role in the squad when he returns to play. I always want to have more top players, but this decision is not related to that," the Marseille captain added.
Coach De Zerbi admitted that "there are many different reasons" why the two sides cannot find a common voice. Pogba has been off the pitch for 18 months. The midfielder's form and fitness are big questions. Coach De Zerbi does not want to take risks.
March 11 is the deadline for Pogba to return to training and play. But after nearly 3 weeks, no club has reached an agreement to bring him back to play football. The option of leaving Europe for Saudi Arabia or MLS is being considered by this midfielder. However, no deal has been formed yet.
Pogba's biggest motivation is to return to the French national team. Pogba turns 32 later this month, and the 2026 World Cup could be his last chance to play in a major tournament. However, coach Didier Deschamps must also think twice before calling Pogba up.
