Paul Pogba urged to make ‘dream’ move to Marseille by Dimitri Payet and link up with former Man Utd team-mate Mason Greenwood

Ligue 1

Marseille

Strasbourg

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://rmcsport.bfmtv.com/football/clubs/olympique-marseille/ca-ne-peut-qu-etre-benefique-pour-lui-payet-invite-a-son-tour-pogba-a-rejoindre-l-om_AV-202412140378.html" target="_blank">BeIn Sport</a> ahead of Marseille's home fixture against Lille — where the spoils were shared in a 1-1 draw — Payet urged his former France international team-mate to join OM, who are one of the favourites to land his signature. This is after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-why-paul-pogba-doping-ban-reduced-cas-confirm-four-year-suspension-juventus-ex-man-utd-midfielder-cut-18-months/bltde5a6a37cc2133af#csac2afd4abe67cae0" target="_blank">Pogba's doping ban was recently reduced to 18 months</a>, leaving him free to play again in March 2025.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Payet played for OM from 2013-2015 and then from 2017-2023 after he left West Ham to return to France. With 78 goals scored and 326 games played for the French outfit he's rightly considered a club legend and is always welcome back at the Stade Velodrome. It was here where, speaking to the media, he commented on Paul Pogba's future.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Payet said, with Pogba seeing a reunion with ex-Manchester United team-mate Mason Greenwood speculated on: "Like all Marseille supporters, of course it's a dream [for Pogba to join the club]. After that, whether it's true or not, I can't tell you more. I've rubbed shoulders with him in the national team, he's rubbed shoulders with other former Marseille players, he knows where he's going. He's already played here, a club like Marseille can only be beneficial for him."<br></p>

WHAT PAYET SAID

<p>With pros like Payet and Adrien Rabiot — who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/inviting-him-come-play-paul-pogba-urged-join-ex-man-utd-team-mate-mason-greenwood-marseille-former-juventus-france-adrien-rabiot-doping-ban/blt0f416064169e8349" target="_blank">said earlier this year </a>that he "would like to play with Paul" — urging Pogba to join Marseille, the pressure is building for the 31-year-old as he prepares himself for a return to the world of football. Whether this pressure will help secure a transfer is yet to be seen, although a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-pogba-future-decided-man-utd-update-new-club-doping-ban-end/blt475a0d50b38c33d8" target="_blank">cryptic hint dropped by the man himself on social media </a>suggests that Pogba might already have a final destination lined up. </p>
