According to many sources, Marseille wants Pogba before he returns from a doping ban. With no chance at Juventus, Pogba can find his passion and motivation to play again at Marseille, especially when he has the opportunity to play with his old teammates and receive support from the players and the club's board. This could be an important turning point in the midfielder's career. If Pogba is added to the squad, Marseille will certainly be able to compete on equal terms with PSG shortly.

This is the information I have read.

In my opinion, this is the right choice for the club to terminate the contract with the French-born player, because it is true that he will definitely start from the beginning because he rarely plays, especially under Motta's guidance, Motta certainly wants to focus on the existing players, because currently Motta is coaching and he has the choice of who can come in and out, because Pogba's arrival could complicate the situation and that is a series of events that happened to him, it is indeed not easy for Pogba with the events that happened to him and in my opinion other clubs who want to bring in star players at this time must think first because of the consequences that occur, Juventus is currently in good condition in their midfield, especially the arrival of Koopmeiners is very rapid in the midfield and in my opinion Motta is currently more focused on talented young players rather than big players, Pogba himself also has to train again because his abilities must have decreased and that takes more time, in my opinion terminating Pogba's contract is the best solution between the two.

[Hirose UK]

Most people are quite busy talking about Pogba and Juventus, now there is surprising rumor about Balotelli who wants to return to Serie-A, he is reported to be close to Alberto Gilardino, the coach of Genoa who most likely really has an interest in Balotelli to be able to enter his squad.
Previously there were several team from various Leagues offering contracts to Balotelli including Saudi and he seemed to reject them, from several reports that I read Balotelli has desire to be able to return to the Italian League and there are two team that seem to have the desire to be able to accept him, the first is Genoa and the second is Torino.
There has been no official statement regarding this news about whether Balotelli has reached personal agreement with one of the Serie-A team but what is clear is that it will be very possible for us to see him play here again.
I haven't seen Balotelli play for quite while because previously he played with Adana Demirspor in the Turkish League and there Adana Demirspor is not strong team, Balotelli return to Serie-A might enliven Italian football to be able to compete fiercely again considering he is great striker.

[LUCKMCFLY]

But, I'm very concerned about our striker's embarrassing performance. They poorly executed the ball and often dived. It was shameful to watch. I think our striker, Dusan, is finished.

It's always painful to watch our strikers miss a lot of chances in any games.

Sometimes players may not have their day and that is reflected in their playing, but you have to consider that one thing compensates for the other, because how many mistakes can be made up for up front? Many, the most that can happen is that they miss goals, or the worst is that they get sent off. It should also be noted that defense is very necessary because basically Italian football is always based on the best defense in the world, and that is what is sought, by having solidity in defense sometimes you can attack and score goals, that is what is seen in these things, I am one of those who think that when a team has good results they should be praised, and improve on the points that should be done.

Italian football has its greatest art of defense and success of their clubs in Europe and their national team are mainly based on their strong defense. It's their strongest strength but in the past, they had many great attacking players who helped them winning titles.

Recent years, Italy lack of good players in both defense and attacking areas and quality of Serie A and national team fall a lot. Italian clubs must focus and invest more into their academies to get new generations of youth players, who will be foundations for their success in future. They are no longer rich in finance compares to clubs in Spain and England so having good youth academies is only way to succeed and competitive to clubs in La Liga and Premier League.

[Obari]

But, I'm very concerned about our striker's embarrassing performance. They poorly executed the ball and often dived. It was shameful to watch. I think our striker, Dusan, is finished.

It's always painful to watch our strikers miss a lot of chances in any games.

Every attacker have time and season and we've surpassed most of these players on the pitch. Dusan Vlahovic was a top striker in his prime but we didn't expect him to turn out to become a flopping player that's not consistent in his epic performance. Today he's the main striker in the game and tomorrow he's probably rated low due to his inability to convert chances to goals. He did missed out on the golden goal scoring chances but it doesn't mean he's not present for proactive attacking roles, these things just happen and it's definitely not their fault. Let me ask you a simple question, if Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo do missed out on golden goal scoring opportunities, then while blame Dusan Vlahovic for his own misses? I've watch and experience more big chances wasted by an attacker, first to come on the list is Darwin Nunez, Karim Benzema, Nicolas Jackson, these are players that have banged good numbers of goals for their club but in frequent scenarios, they're completely out of the context.

[tusandii]

The current balance of the Juventus squad is not very good. They always have difficulty completing the attacks they build themselves. And this makes this team less productive in scoring goals. So it is very natural that currently we see Juventus getting more draws. But I believe this team will improve as the season progresses. Because I think Juventus has a coach who is quite trustworthy. Thiago Motta may just be a young coach. but last season he managed to turn Bologna into a strong team. And I think he will also be able to restore Juventus' best performance, which is one of the teams that is considered one of the strongest in Serie A.

Juventus haven't started the season as they would have loved to, but they have a chance to close the gap between them and Inter Milan as inter Milan don't have much points more than them but Napoli is leading with 3 points. The arrival of Conte at Napoli has made them become title contenders again and I'm not surprised as Conte is a very good manager. Juventus just need to focus on the next game against Lazio that are 4th on the table just behind them and looking to pass them after the international breaks. Juventus now have alot of competitors than they use to when they were still the dominant team in the league but right now there are others coming up.

It seems that Juventus' journey to win the title is more difficult this season last season Juventus only had 2 competitors, namely Inter Milan and AC Milan but this season Napoli is back competing in the hunt for the title, AC Milan is still not visible but it seems they will soon follow this is certainly not easy for Juventus while currently Juventus has experienced many draws which makes the distance between him and Napoli even further if not fixed immediately. The arrival of Antonio Conte has indeed changed everything he is a successful coach in the Italian League. Juventus and Inter Milan used to be his club and he can give the title but now they will be the enemy for Antonio Conte to bring success to the club he is currently coaching.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

I can confirm that Juventus are in talks with Paul Pogba and his representatives. The decision is clear, they just need to finalize the terms. Pogba will leave Juventus and become a free agent.

This will be the start of a new journey for Paul Pogba and he will have to work hard again to gain the trust of several clubs. After becoming a free agent, there may be several offers that come, although not from bigger clubs, but Paul Pogba must consider it in order to continue his career.

According to many sources, Marseille wants Pogba before he returns from a doping ban. With no chance at Juventus, Pogba can find his passion and motivation to play again at Marseille, especially when he has the opportunity to play with his old teammates and receive support from the players and the club's board. This could be an important turning point in the midfielder's career. If Pogba is added to the squad, Marseille will certainly be able to compete on equal terms with PSG shortly.

Apart from Marseille, I am sure there are many clubs who want Paul Pogba as long as he does not ask for too big a salary. The warm welcome given by Marseille is a motivation that needs to be seen by a French defensive midfielder because it is difficult to gain trust after facing legal charges related to doping. There is always a moment to improve and but it must be learned that being involved in a case like that will not benefit his career.

Fortunately Paul Pogba got a reduced sentence so that he did not end up in football so quickly because building a career this far is not easy and not everyone gets the opportunities like him.

Maybe somewhere else there will be a club that can bring Pogba back to his glory, it's just a matter of time for everything Pogba has gone through with his career when he returns to play as a Juventus player, even though his future is unclear and looks uncertain, Juventus' decision to terminate his contract is the right of a club, because Juventus is not fixated on one player who might hinder the development of the squad, therefore Motta will be much more focused on the current players than how to maintain Pogba.

Maybe with Poga's presence in the squad, the game will most likely run well and the scheme implemented by Motta will also have a positive impact, but all of that cannot force the current situation, so any decision is a good decision for both parties.

Roberto De Zerbi seems to have a soft spot for embattled players. He brought in Mason Greenwood after his case about attempted rape and assault in 2022 was dropped. It became impossible to go back to Manchester United, and the Marseille coach gave him a lifeline. I know Juventus will not accept Paul Pogba because there will be opposition from the fans and even some of the management staff, which means he needs to go somewhere else. At his age, the Saudi Professional League or the US Major League Soccer would have been his most viable option, but a move to the French League is just perfect. He has contributed immensely to the French national team, hence he would be accepted by the fans. I am expectant to see his quality after this long break.

Juventus are considering and if they come to a contract termination with Pogba, I see it's good decision for their club financially. With conditions of Pogba recent years, it's hard for him to return with good performances so continuing this contract, paying him high salary is not smart decision from Juventus.

I believe Pogba will feel happy with this decision from Juventus too because he will be able to freely choose a club from Saudi Arabia, moving there to enjoy good salary and parties. He does not show that he is still ambitious with playing at highest level and winning big titles. With some Scudetto and World Cup title in 2018 tournament, Pogba satisfies with what he has had so far and money now is most important with him.

Sounds like Juventus already made their decision and the contract will be terminated soon.

There are a lot of rumors surrounding Mario Balotelli at the moment, some say he is one step away from playing for a lower class Spanish team (Intercity Alicante), others say he will go to Genoa. It would be interesting to see him playing in the top leagues again, he did well at Demirspor, and it seems he still deserves to play in the top leagues. There are also rumors that Genoa's rumor of wanting to bring in Balotelli will just be a rumor.

It could happen if Genoa is willing to take the risk to bring in a slightly older player. Everyone must know that Balotelli in the past had good performance but at this time he is a little older and certainly his physical and stamina have decreased not like before. He can indeed perform well in the Turkish league but the problem is in Serie A the competition is very tight and if Genoa wants to recruit him, it is not a problem because he is currently a free agent. But in my opinion as long as all of that is free and Balotelli does not demand a big salary, Genoa deserves to get him.

Actually i almost forgot about this player before you were mentioned him now and Balotelli is experience striker and during his career on his prime Balotelli has been joining several big teams just like Liverpool and Inter Milan and actually at Adana Demirspor he has good records because from 16 matches Balotelli can scores 7 goals but the most problem is from those matches he was gets 7 yellow card and 1 red card so i think Balotelli is still the same as before that he is a temperamental player

Indeed according to the rumour Balotelli has been refuse the offers from several clubs because he want to playing at Serie A and it says Torino and Genoa are showing their interest to him and indeed Genoa in the serious problem because they are into relegation zone and their attacking lines also very weak because Genoa only able to scores 5 goals from 7 matches in Serie A and certainly Genoa is really required new striker to improved their performance but i am not sure Balotelli could being an the right player for them because Balotelli has passed his prime

[KTChampions]

But in my opinion as long as all of that is free and Balotelli does not demand a big salary, Genoa deserves to get him.

If we take Ballotelli's pure skill, then of course it hasn't gone anywhere, even despite his age, he can probably help Genoa stay in Serie A and avoid the relegation zone. Another question is what about his emotional stability, was he able to achieve it with age?  I see that in Demispor he regularly received yellow (and even red) cards.

I hope so because there is no big possibility that Mario Balotelli can show his best performance again after slumping in the last few seasons, especially now that he is 34 years old, of course it makes it difficult for him to compete with other players.
I don't understand the steps taken by Genoa, all of this is just a rumor because Genoa will not have a big impact if they recruit Mario Balotelli, Mario Balotelli's performance has really fallen very low now.

There is always a moment to improve and but it must be learned that being involved in a case like that will not benefit his career.

Such a problem is a very bad problem for every footballer and also for every other athlete because doping is something that is strictly prohibited in all countries so the punishment will always be very complicated for those who use it. But if Paul Pogba can get leniency for his actions, it is clear that he is very lucky because he still has time to return to his career considering his age which is over thirty years old at this time. But if Marseille is able to bring Paul Pogba into their squad, I think Marseille will be much stronger than before in Ligue1.

[Leviathan.007]

Everything you say is based on what is seen on paper. I admit, Inter is superior in terms of statistics, H2H and team, but the match results can be different from what is predicted outside the field. Roma are in transition with a new coach, they have also not been consistent in maintaining their performance. In this match, Roma will act as the host, they will try to play with full enthusiasm in front of their supporters, at least a draw is enough for them to maintain the mentality of the players in the next match.

This match in my opinion is quite difficult to predict, however Roma is not completely bad, especially they play in front of their supporters, of course they want to play with enthusiasm and try not to disappoint but their opponents are quite tough, a draw is already a good result for Roma and also a fair result for both teams who do not want to lose points, but I probably would not choose one of them to bet on who will win since it's too risky, I'll probably bet on the BTTS option I think both teams will be equally dominant in attack and will both create chances.

In fact, we are not saying Roma is a bad team or that they can't have a good performance in this match, but all we say is about Inter Milan's performance. They were having an awesome performance recently in both the Champions League and Serie A, which is a good reason to say Inter Milan's chance for this match is much higher than that of a team like Roma.
Maybe if Roma had De Rossi working in this team, they could have a chance to get better results, but currently, I think they are going to lose it to Inter Milan.

Maybe if Roma had De Rossi working in this team, they could have a chance to get better results, but currently, I think they are going to lose it to Inter Milan.

Roma sacked Mourinho and hoped that they will get better results with De Rossi. The last season ended with no better results, no ticket to Champions League, no Europa League final match and nothing to say De Rossi did better management than Mourinho. After only some matches in this season, they sacked De Rossi and hire Juric, another coach who has never worked for any big club in his career. Results so far are not better than De Rossi had before the sack and maybe they hope that they did not fire De Rossi in this season, did not fire Jose Mourinho in the past season.

I hope so because there is no big possibility that Mario Balotelli can show his best performance again after slumping in the last few seasons, especially now that he is 34 years old, of course it makes it difficult for him to compete with other players.
I don't understand the steps taken by Genoa, all of this is just a rumor because Genoa will not have a big impact if they recruit Mario Balotelli, Mario Balotelli's performance has really fallen very low now.

Balotelli was compared with Antonio Cassano because they are both uncontrollable players but have great talent. In professionalism, I see Cassano is more professional than Balotelli but Balotelli won more titles than Cassano. When these players are older, Cassano managed to play better than Balotelli too.

Returning to home land and playing very last seasons of his career is good choice for Balotelli but I don't expect this player will score many goals for Genoa. He is no longer able to do this and in a weak team like Genoa, challenge is more as he will receive less ball and chances for scoring goals.
