ROME: French police have opened an investigation into claims by World Cup winner Paul Pogba that he is the victim of a multi-million euro blackmail plot by gangsters involving his brother, a source close to the case told AFP on Sunday (Aug 28).
Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti said it would be difficult to say no to a nine-figure bid for star striker Victor Osimhen amid reports of a potential deal with Manchester United that could see Cristiano Ronaldo head in the other direction. Ronaldo’s future has been the subject of speculation throughout the summer, since he reportedly asked to leave Old Trafford to join a club competing in the Champions League.
Napoli have held discussions with Cristiano Ronaldo's agent ahead of Thursday's transfer deadline.
Pogba, who rejoined Italian Serie A club Juventus in July following his departure from English Premier League Manchester United, released a statement on Sunday after his brother Mathias Pogba posted a video online. Mathias Pogba spoke in French, Spanish, English and Italian in the video and promised to make "great revelations" about his younger brother and the 2018 World Cup-winner's agent Rafaela Pimenta. "The competent bodies in Italy and France were informed a month ago and there will be no further comments in relation to the ongoing investigation," Paul Pogba said in a statement that was signed by his lawyers, his mother Yeo Moriba and his agent.
