For this, OM seems the ideal option for its future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"N&#39;Glo Kantity\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footmarseillais.com\/images\/ICONSPORT_244481_0757.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: ICON SPORT<\/p>\n<p data=\"intro\">Banned from land since August 2023 following a doping suspension, Paul Pogba finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel. The French international, world champion in 2018, is preparing to make his return to competition, with a final chance of relaunching his career online. Followed closely by OM, the 32 -year -old midfielder could well join the Marseille city to find rhythm and especially playing time. And if this Marseille bet were to bear fruit, Pogba could draw inspiration from another world champion with surprising destiny: N&#39;Golo Kant\u00e9.<\/p>\n<h2>The Kant\u00e9 example to nourish a blue dream<\/h2>\n<p>Starting towards Saudi Arabia, N&#39;Golo Kant\u00e9 seemed to have made a cross on the French team. However, to everyone&#39;s surprise, Didier Deschamps decided to recall this, welcoming his always impressive level despite his exile in the Middle East. A lesson in resilience that has not escaped Paul Pogba. In Marseille, where Roberto de Zerbi dreams of strengthening his midfield with an experience profile, Pogba could benefit from the ideal framework to be reborn. OM, in search of leadership and physical impact, would be the perfect environment to find its best level.<\/p>\n<h2>The perfect timing to hit hard<\/h2>\n<p>With the 2026 World Cup and Euro 2028 in sight, Paul Pogba can still believe it. On the condition of becoming the boss he has been again. If OM offers it this opportunity, history could become as crazy as that of Kant\u00e9. The comeback is no longer a mirage, it is underway. And Deschamps could well keep an attentive eye on this V\u00e9lodrome stadium that he knows so well &#8230;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"article_news_author\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Jos\u00e9 Garcia\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Like N&#39;Golo Kant\u00e9, recalled in the French team despite its distance from the lights of European football, Paul Pogba dreams of a blue comeback.
