In Arabia, they are buying into Europe with the clear aim of making the Saudi League one of the most prestigious leagues in the world within a few years. Already in the past few weeks, an intermediary had met with a Saudi emissary representing Rafaela Pimenta (Pogba’s agent) and was tasked with checking the player’s availability and finding out about his physical condition.

The Frenchman resumed training a week ago and will follow an individual program at least until the departure for the America tour with Juve. It seems focused on the present, but the recent reconnaissance expedition – documented – could offer a glimpse into the future. To understand how close it could be. Paul jokes in a video that immediately took to social media: “Not today, who knows tomorrow…” he replies to those who ask him if he will play in Arabia. The interlocutor insists: “But after Ittihad or after Al-Ahly?” “I don’t know,” Pogba laughs again.
