The French Juventus midfielder on the extortion incident he suffered, in which his brother was also involved: “Money can destroy a family. But I will never give up”
Paul Pogba had thought about quitting during the troubled months off the pitch last season. The French Juventus midfielder declared this in an interview given to Al Jazeera: “I want to make everyone take back their words and show that I am not weak – he said, commenting on the criticisms received -. They can speak badly of me, but I will never give up”.

But most of the statements center around the story of the extortion suffered, including a brief seizure: “Money changes people and can destroy a family, it can create a war. Sometimes, when I was alone, I thought: ‘I don’t want no longer have money, I don’t want to play football anymore. I just want to be with normal people, so they will love me for who I am, not for the fame, not for the money.’ Sometimes it’s hard.” The affair also involved his brother Mathias, with whom there could be a confrontation in the courtroom in Paris next Friday.
