Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba says he doesn't hold a grudge against his alleged extortionists.

That's according to AFP, which are reporting on Pogba's September 15 hearing with local Paris investigators involving the claimed blackmail plot against him, which included older brother Mathias Pogba.

"They will always have a place in my heart," said Pogba, thinking of his brother and the other boyhood friends involved. Adding: "I had a lot of respect for all those people, they were like my family.

"The truth will come out."

Pogba, reports Le Monde, would have explained to investigators that he had always wanted to support his family circle, but then refused when, in 2021, the requests for money reached levels considered unacceptable.
