Paul Pogba: Juventus Star Almost Quit Football After Blackmail and Witchcraft Saga Involving Kylian Mbappe

• Paul Pogba considered quitting football after the damaging witchcraft accusations and subsequent extortion scandal against him
• Pogba has been involved in a bitter family feud with his elder brother Mathias Pogba, who is now in custody
• It has now been revealed that the French star wanted to walk away from football altogether

Paul Pogba reportedly almost quit football, at the height of the alleged extortion saga between him and his elder brother, Mathias Pogba.

This has been revealed by his close friend Boubacar Kamara, who has claimed that Pogba was in tears as he narrated the story.

Mathias first recorded a video alleging that he had explosive information about his brother that he would soon reveal.

In a quick rejoinder through his lawyers, Pogba downplayed the incident and in turn, insisted that Mathias was part of an extortion ring that had been trying to get money from him.

Pogba 'cast spell' on Mbappe

Mathias then claimed that Pogba had visited a witch doctor to cast a spell on his French international teammate Kylian Mbappe. Pogba vehemently denied these accusations, claiming that Mathias' gang wanted close to 13 million euros from him.

The case went back and forth, with authorities taking over. Mathias is currently in police custody as investigations continue, as Sports Brief reported.

Pogba was in tears

Kamara has now said that Pogba considered quitting. The star reportedly said he wanted to disappear and asked how he could give the alleged extortionists the sum they were demanding.

"Paul was crying. I told him to calm down. He called I don't know who. He was afraid for his children, his wife, his family," said Kamara as quoted by Tribal Football.

Serge Aurier was dragged into the Pogba family feud

Sports Brief had earlier reported that there was a new twist in the Pogba brothers saga, as Mathias Pogba has dragged former Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier into the mess.

Mathias is currently in provisional detention, but this has not stopped him from dishing out a string of accusations against his star brother Paul.

On September 22, he released a series of videos overnight on his Twitter account, in what many believed to be the work of a bot in a carefully planned release of the videos long before his detention.
