Police in France have launched an investigation into the footballer’s claims, according to the AFP news agency. It comes after the Juventus star’s brother claimed he was planning to make “big revelations” that would make fans and team-mates look at him in a different light. Mathias Pogba’s social media video also promised to reveal “very important things” about Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe – as well as questions of “integrity” about Pogba’s agent Rafaela Pimenta. He said: “I think the French, Italian and English public, my brother’s fans, and even more so – the French national team, the Juventus team, my brother’s team-mates and his sponsors, deserve to know certain things to be informed. to decide whether he is worthy of the public’s admiration, respect and love.” Posting the clip in four languages, Mathias Pogba – who has played for the likes of Crawley Town and Partick Thistle – says his motives will be revealed in time and his claims are “explosive”. In a statement, Paul Pogba’s lawyers, mother and agent said: “Mathias Pogba’s recent statements on social media unfortunately do not come as a surprise. They come after threats and blackmail attempts by an organized gang against Paul Pogba. “The competent authorities in Italy and France were informed a month ago and there will be no further comment in relation to the ongoing investigation.” Responding to the statement on Sunday afternoon, Matias Pogba posted a series of tweets with more baseless claims – and wrote in French that “people will see that there is no more coward, more traitor and more hypocrite than you on this earth”. Pogba is currently out with an injury at Juventus but is expected to return soon and be a part of France’s World Cup squad in Qatar this winter. He used to play for Manchester United.
