Mbappe Wants Explanations From the Pogba Brothers
The Paul Pogba soap opera continues to gain momentum. A few days ago, Mathias, the brother of the Juventus player, accused Paul of hiring a Muslim religious teacher in an attempt to injure Kylian Mbappe through witchcraft.
As reported by Marca, that accusation obviously created headlines and Mbappe himself is confused and keen for answers.
The PSG star hasn’t made a public statement, but French media say he’s done so privately.
RTL and M6 report that Mbappe has taken an interest to the story and has contacted the Pogba brothers to get their side of the story.
Mbappe and his legal team are waiting to see how the case develops from a distance, as they don’t want to get involved while the police do their job.
Another scandal in France
What is clear is that the drama comes at a bad time for the French national team. With less than three months until the start of the World Cup, it doesn’t appear two of France’s stars are on particularly good terms.
It’s a situation that isn’t new to the French, following the Karim Benzema and Mathieu Valbuena scandal of 2015.
Coach Didier Deschamps will name his Nations League squad in a fortnight’s time, but the reunion between Pogba and Mbappe may have to wait anyway, as the Juventus midfielder is still recovering from a right knee injury suffered in pre-season.
