Pogba, sand and Arabia: recovery work and time for decisions for him

The French follows a personalized path with the goal of returning to 100%. And in the meantime the Saudis are pondering a relaunch

Sirens from Arabia aside, Paul Pogba’s primary objective is to physically recover. As soon as possible, so that we can get on the field as soon as possible. The Frenchman is observing an individual work program with the support of a trainer: we are in the second week, considering that he brought forward his return to Turin ten days ago, but for now it is too early to make predictions about complete recovery. The midfielder has just returned from a dark year (only 161 minutes on the pitch, in 10 appearances) and already in the previous two years he hadn’t shone for continuity: for this reason, recovering his physical form is his absolute priority.

THE FUTURE OF POGBA

The last job he’s doing at J Medical is activation on the sand, functional to the consolidation of the knee that stopped him last year. Everything continues as scheduled with the Frenchman, who is heavily concentrated on training and on Juve. At least for now, Pogba would not have shown the slightest distraction, despite the fact that Arabia is continuing to press to attract him towards the Saudi Pro League. After the visit to Jeddah last weekend, the midfielder released himself from the first offer (of 100 million for three years) with a “no today, I don’t know tomorrow”. But the Saudi emissaries are not letting go and would be ready to package a monstrous raise that could reach 150 million. In addition Kantè and Benzema are pressing to convince him to join them at Al-Ittihad. In short, these are decisive days for Paul’s future, who, however – first of all – must get well again.
