Former France international Adil Rami has encouraged Paul Pogba to consider joining Marseille following his recent departure from Juventus.
Rami believes that the French club could provide the ideal environment for Pogba to relaunch his career after a difficult period marred by injuries and a doping ban.
Pogba, now 31, is currently a free agent after Juventus terminated his contract. While his doping ban has been reduced, allowing him to resume training in January 2025 and return to action by March, the midfielder is faced with a crucial decision about his next move.
Rami’s Public Message to Pogba
During a live Twitch session, Rami, a 2018 World Cup winner, took the opportunity to send Pogba a voice message. He expressed his excitement about the possibility of Pogba joining Olympique de Marseille and highlighted how the club could benefit from his leadership and experience.
"Pogba! The great player! How are you, bro? Rumors say you're going to Olympique de Marseille. If it's true, I'm very happy. This team needs a little more character," Rami said.
He continued: "If it happens, bro, I'll arrive in Marseille with three, four or five jerseys that you'll sign for me, including one for my Twitch community and my subscribers. Marseille is a very, very, very good choice. I wish that for you and I wish that for them."
Pivotal Moment in Pogba’s Career
Pogba's career has hit a crossroads. After a stellar first spell at Juventus, where he gained international acclaim, his recent years have been plagued by injuries, inconsistent performances, and off-field controversies. While some clubs may view him as a risky signing, his pedigree and talent make him an attractive option for teams willing to bet on his potential resurgence.
For Marseille, the opportunity to sign a player of Pogba’s caliber could be a calculated risk worth taking. The move would also see Pogba reunited with former Manchester United teammate Mason Greenwood, who joined Marseille earlier this season.
As Pogba evaluates his options, Rami’s public endorsement underscores the enthusiasm among fans and players alike for the possibility of the French midfielder wearing Marseille’s iconic jersey.
