Mbappe seeks answers in Pogba scandal – French media

The PSG forward reportedly wanted to know why his name has been brought up in a family feud

Kylian Mbappe has contacted the Pogba brothers Paul and Mathias separately to find out why he has been implicated in a witchcraft scandal and family feud, according to reports in France. 

The Pogbas made their row public at the weekend when Mathias released a video threatening to make "revelations" about Paul, his agent Rafael Pimenta, and Mbappe.

Paul Pogba followed this by claiming that he had been the focus of an extortion attempt, which prompted Mathias to go on a Twitter rant where he addressed Mbappe and appeared to suggest that Paul Pogba had employed witchcraft to cast a spell on the 23-year-old.

Reports from CNews have claimed that Paul Pogba admitted to contracting the services of a west African religious figure known as a Marabout to use witchcraft, but only to keep himself free from injury as opposed to wishing harm on Mbappe.
