Nasri blasts Pogba as Juve star admits visiting a witch doctor
Pogba is described as a 'fake Muslim' by the former French international
Former Arsenal attacker Samir Nasri has ripped into Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba for hiring a witch doctor, which contradicts his Muslim beliefs.
The football world has been shocked by revelations that Pogba enlisted the help of a witch doctor and the alleged reasons for doing so.
His brother, Mathias Pogba, has claimed that the witch doctor was ordered to put a curse on Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.
Paul Pogba has told police that a witch doctor was employed, however, only to prevent himself from sustaining injuries.
Mbappe has reportedly since called the Juventus player to understand his role in the ongoing situation.
The allegations surrounding the use of the witch doctor have drawn the ire of ex-Arsenal midfielder Nasri.
The now retired former French international has said
"He (Paul Pogba) is a contradiction. He is a Muslim. If you have to protect yourself from something, you call on God, not a witchdoctor."
Pogba has ran into injury issues throughout his career, with his time at Manchester United being plagued by numerous fitness problems.
The Frenchman made 233 appearances at Old Trafford, scoring 39 goals and creating 54 assists.
The midfielder has since returned to Juve yet again on a free transfer but injury issues have once again emerged.
Pogba sustained an injury to his right knee which required surgery but he has put this off in order to play at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
He is yet to make an appearance for the Old Lady since his groundbreaking return this past July.
The Juve midfielder claims that his brother conspired with childhood friends to blackmail him.
Now Paul Pogba case is in the hands of two judges, while the Paris prosecutor's office has opened a judicial investigation into the extortion the current Juventus player claims he is suffering at the hands some family members, childhood friends and criminals.
In Pogba's second court hearing, the footballer denies having called a witch doctor to cast a spell on Kylian Mbappe to get him injured, as his brother Mathias accused him of doing.
Pogba's version is that it is true that he paid money to a witch doctor, but he did it to help a humanitarian association and not to bewitch Mbappe, according to Franceinfo.
Franceinfo reports that in recent times Pogba has changed his phone number twice to escape the harassment of his extortionists, but to no avail.
Pogba eventually paid 98,915 euros of the 13 million euros demanded by his extortionists.
The French press reports that the gunmen first demanded 13 million euros and then demanded an immediate payment of 3 million euros.
FranceInfo published that Pogba, unable to withdraw the three million from the bank, ended up paying 98,915 euros.
