Paul Pogba’s lawyer has reacted to Mathias Pogba claiming that he will reveal ‘explosive’ details about his younger brother.
Mathias Pogba, recently took to social media to post a bizarre video about his brother.
The 32-year-old forward, who has previously enjoyed spells with Wrexham, Crewe and Crawley, claimed to know secrets about Paul, his new agent, Rafaela Pimenta, and PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe.
He claimed the information could change the public’s perception of Paul, 29.
“I’m announcing that I’ll soon be making big revelations about my brother, Paul Pogba, his lawyer, his friend, and his confidante Rafaela Pimenta, who Paul calls his ‘second mother’ as if one wasn’t enough.
“For those who don’t know me, I’m a professional footballer and the big brother of world champion Paul, who has joined Juventus after a disappointing spell at Manchester United.”
The 32-year-old further added that his brother’s teammates and fans across the world deserve to know the details:
“I’m making this video today because I think that the French, Spanish, English, and Italian people, as well as fans of my brother, Juventus, the French national team, his teammates, and his sponsors, deserve to know certain things so they can decide in full knowledge of the facts whether he really deserves the respect, admiration, and love of the public.
“If he deserves his place in the French squad, if he deserves to play in the World Cup, if he deserves to start for Juventus, if he is a person worthy of our confidence and whether he is worthy of being a role model for the youth.”
Mathias further added that he has witnesses who can back up his remarks and claims.
The 32-year-old is a free agent after leaving French fourth-division side Belfort in April. He has also enjoyed spells at a number of other clubs across Europe.
A statement was released by Paul Pogba’s lawyer on Sunday. It read: “The recent declarations of Mathias Pogba on social media are unfortunately not a surprise. They are coming after threats and attempts of extortion by an organised gang against Paul Pogba.”
“This has been referred to the appropriate authorities both in Italy and in France a month ago.”
