  • Tours FC chairman Jean-Marc Etorri says he is unsurprised by the current impasse which has rocked the Pogba family
  • At Tours FC, a fifth-tier club in France during the 2018-19 season, Mathias Pogba only played a paltry five matches
  • The extortion and witchcraft scandal which is tearing the Pogba family apart has gained media traction with PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe taking a keen interest in the case

Tours FC president Jean-Marc Etorri has weighed in on the deepening Pogba scandal - Mathias and Paul, recalling his experience with the Pogba siblings back in 2018.

The Pogba family has been rocked with a bizarre, if not incredible, case of attempted extortion of funds to the tune of €13 million laced with allegations of witchcraft.

Etorri, who said he is unsurprised by the ongoing impasse among the Pogba siblings, also called out their mother, Yeo Moriba, as the leader of the 'gang.'

Etorri revealed Mathias was offered to play for his club, Tours FC: “He was offered to us, but we all said, no thank you.” He told to Le Figaro.

However, a counter-offer was proposed by Mathias' camp, which also included Paul Pogba and agent Gaël Mahé.

“They said to take Mathias and that Paul would pay his salary, his costs. In addition, he proposes coming to play a friendly match at Tours and he’ll also come to watch his brother play twice,” said Etorri.
Despite, the sum that was promised to be paid, which amounted to the tune of €80,000, never arrived. In light of the deepening Pogba scandal, Etorri said he “is not at all surprised.”
He also called Pogba’s mother, Yeo Moriba “the head of the gang,” adding that “it is her who pilots everything, her who says yes, her who says no.”

Mathias Pogba releases fresh video, reveals Paul Pogba spent millions on witchcraft

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Paul Pogba's elder brother, Mathias Pogba has released a video promising to reveal some explosive information about his brother.

Mathias took to his Tik Tok account to explain that the world needed to see his brother in a different light.

Pogba has often been regarded as one of the best midfielders in his era despite many people agreeing he has repeatedly failed to live to his full potential. He has often come out as an easy-go character with his celebration styles wowing fans.
