Huge fuss about France world champion Paul Pogba (29 / Juventus Turin)!
After his brother Mathias (32) uploaded a bizarre video on social media over the weekend in which he threatened to unpack against his brother and his advisor Rafaela Pimenta, events took a turn for the worse.
Gaga allegations from his own brother
In an AS article from Monday night, the Spanish newspaper explained that it knew the background to one of the Pogba brother’s most piquant allusions. He had stated that he would also “tell things about Kylian Mbappé, the world football star. (…) All of this is probably explosive and will cause a lot of excitement.”
The AS refers to French sources in its article. According to his brother Mathias, Paul Pogba hired a magician to hurt Mbappé. This information was confirmed on social media by Mathias Pogba, who explained in a thread that everything he was saying was true – and that his brother had actually tried to use witchcraft and black magic against Mbappé.
Mathias Pogba on Twitter towards Mbappé: “Kylian, do you understand now? I have nothing negative against you, my statements are for your benefit, everything is true and proven, the magician is known! It is never good to have a hypocrite and traitor around.”
Why the Frenchman would have wanted to harm his national team colleague, with whom he won the 2018 World Cup with France, is not clear from Mathias’ statements…
13 million! Is Pogba being blackmailed by teenage buddies?
In addition, it is slowly coming to light more and more what the background of the dubious video could be. As many European media reports unanimously, Pogba is said to be blackmailed by a gang. And have even been threatened with assault rifles in the process!

An investigation into alleged extortion and threats has been underway since the beginning of August. A source has now told French news channel France Info that the footballer’s “childhood friends” have been named as suspects, including his older brother Mathias.
The unnamed source: “During various hearings, Paul Pogba was able to confide in investigators at the Criminal Investigation Unit’s Organized Crime Unit that he was lured into a trap by childhood friends and two hooded men armed with assault rifles.”
According to his statement, when he visited his family home in Lagny-sur-Marne at the end of March, Pogba was said to have moved into an apartment. According to consistent press reports, the men demanded the considerable sum of 13 million. According to English newspaper The Sun, they told Pogba that they had “discretely protected” him since he was 13.
The ex-ManUnited star is said to have told investigators that he was always happy to help his childhood friends. However, in January he had to throw one of his best friends out of the house after he stole €200,000 from Pogba’s credit card. He saw his alleged blackmailers several times in April in Manchester and then in July at the Juventus training center.

Meanwhile, Pogba’s mother Yeo Moriba and his agent Pimenta have joined forces to respond to Mathias’ claims. “Unfortunately, Mathias Pogba’s recent statements on social media are not a surprise. They come on top of threats and organized blackmail attempts by an organized gang against Paul Pogba. The relevant authorities in Italy and France were informed a month ago and there will be no further comments on the ongoing investigation.”
This gossip theater about Pogba seems to have just really started …
