  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Pogba will be free to start playing again as of this month after he saw his four-year doping ban cut to 18 months last October, but he remains a free agent since his Juventus contract was terminated shortly after the suspension was cut.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Marseille had been seen as the frontrunners to sign the ex-Manchester United player, but no deal materialised, with coach Roberto De Zerbi explaining: "Nobody will unbalance my dressing room as long as I am [the] coach."

  However, the Ligue 1 club's president has hinted that the 32-year-old could still be brought in as he admitted that there have been talks.

• WHAT LONGORIA SAID

  "We had the opportunity, there were some conversations, and we've considered this possibility," he told . "Looking to the future, he's obviously a player of an important level, and a name like that on the market is always valuable. Looking ahead, we're focused on the end of the season, and perhaps in three weeks we'll have a clearer vision of the plan. Obviously, a player like that on the market is something to be valued."

  WHAT NEXT FOR POGBA?

  Pogba has not played since September 2023 when he came on as a substitute in a Serie A clash against Empoli before his ban was confirmed. He will hope to get back on the field soon by finding a new team.
