In response to his brother’s recording of a video promising “big disclosures” about the Juventus star, Paul Pogba issued a statement referring to “extortion.”
The 32-year-old former international for Guinea released films over the weekend in which he promised to deliver “big disclosures regarding (his) brother Paul Pogba and his agent Rafaela Pimenta.”
The tapes “are unfortunately no surprise,” according to a statement signed by former Manchester United striker Paul, 29, his mother Yeo Moriba, and Mr. Pimenta.

There will be no additional comments regarding the current inquiry after a month of notification to the appropriate authorities in France and Italy.
In his weekend video, Mathias, a professional soccer player who has represented a number of clubs, including Wrexham, Crewe Alexandra, and Partick Thistle, urged viewers to decide whether or not his brother “deserves his spot in the French team and the honor of playing in the World Cup.”
Paul will defend the World Cup he won in 2018 with France at the 2019 competition in Qatar.
After his contract with Manchester United expired earlier this summer, he re-joined the Serie A powerhouses on a free transfer.
Before being permitted to leave United on a free transfer and join Juventus in 2012, he first arrived at Old Trafford from Le Havre as a 16-year-old in 2009.
