Paul Pogba has surprised the football world with his new career move. After weeks of speculation linking him to top clubs like Barça and Atlético de Madrid, the French midfielder has made his decision. He has already picked the team to restart his career, and it’s not one of the clubs many had anticipated.
Recently, Pogba has been in touch with his fellow French player Jules Koundé, to whom he allegedly dropped hints about his future. Their close bond, developed in the French national team, sparked rumors of a possible transfer to Barça. However, Pogba’s final choice has taken an unexpected direction.
During his time at Juventus, Pogba faced rumors linking him to a move to Barcelona, but he ultimately turned down the offer. According to sources close to him, his decision was not motivated by money, but rather by the desire to begin anew in a more familiar environment. This same reasoning led him to reject interest from Atlético de Madrid, another club keen on acquiring him.
Many speculated that Pogba would return to his roots, with Le Havre AC—the club where he started his career—seeming like a natural choice, especially since the club is now in Ligue 1. However, Pogba had different plans in mind.
His final destination became Olympique de Marseille, one of France’s most prestigious clubs. With this move, Pogba aims to regain his peak form while distancing himself from the distractions and media pressure that have defined the later years of his career.
At Olympique de Marseille, Pogba is determined to become a key player. The club, which has long aimed to compete at the top of Ligue 1 and in European competitions, is hopeful that Pogba’s experience and skill will strengthen their midfield. This move also brings him closer to his family and the French national team, where he hopes to regain his former brilliance. Pogba believes Marseille could be the perfect place to revitalize his career and demonstrate that he is still among the best in his position.
