This Thursday, June 12, 2025, at 3:08 p.m. local time in Paris, the announcement of Paul Pogba’s spectacular return to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) under Luis Enrique shook the football world. After the recent lifting of his doping-related suspension, the French midfielder signed a contract with the Parisian club, an unexpected transfer orchestrated by the Spanish coach. Fans, both in France and abroad, are jubilant, seeing this return as an opportunity to revitalize a team seeking European glory. Pogba, known for his explosive style of play and charismatic presence, could be the missing piece in Enrique’s tactical chessboard.
This signing comes as PSG seeks to strengthen its midfield after a mixed season. Pogba’s arrival, despite past controversies, is seen as a bold move. At 32, he brings impressive international experience, including winning the 2018 World Cup, and an ability to dominate matches with his vision. However, questions remain about his fitness after a long absence. Luis Enrique, convinced of Pogba’s potential, personally pushed for the move, defying critics and doubts about the former Manchester United player’s ability to return to his best.
Meanwhile, another piece of news made a lasting impression: Cristiano Ronaldo’s letter to president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, expressing his desire to join PSG to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup. Enrique’s direct and unequivocal response, rejecting the offer, left Ronaldo speechless. This decision reflects the coach’s clear strategy, favoring a young and balanced squad rather than name-based reinforcements. Parisian fans are divided: some applaud Enrique’s vision, while others regret not seeing Ronaldo wear the PSG colors.
In Vietnam, where European football is growing in popularity, fans are following these developments with passion, engaging in heated discussions on social media. Pogba’s return is seen as an inspiration for young local players, while Ronaldo’s rejection is fueling debate. With the 2025-26 season approaching, all eyes are on the Parc des Princes. Will Pogba have the opportunity to shine again under Enrique? The answer will emerge in the coming weeks, promising an emotional season for French and world football.
