Witch Doctors And Spells On Mbappe - The Crazy Ass Story Of How Paul Pogba Is Reportedly Being Extorted By His Brother And Friends

Holy shit there's a lot going on here. Paul Pogba, currently playing for Juventus, is also reportedly being extorted and blackmailed by a gang. That gang just so happens to include his brother and childhood friends. Here's more on that story:

[Source] - Paul, 29, told authorities the group requested the money for "protection services" stretching back 13 years, it is understood.

A source told French news outlet France Info, that the footballer's "childhood friends" were named as suspects.

The ex-Man United star claimed he was dragged to an apartment in the Paris suburb of Lagny-sur-Marne. He said he saw his alleged blackmailers a number of times in April in Manchester and then in July at the Juventus training centre in Turin.

He claimed the only time that didn't happen was in January when he fell out with one of them.

The footie star kicked his pal out of his house in Manchester after realising he had used his credit card to steal £170,000 (€200,000).

Now we're getting reports that Pogba is being extorted for apparently wanting a family witch doctor to put a spell on Mbappe? Sure, I guess. I mean, why not, this story already has enough crazy angles. I can't imagine getting extorted by my brother. Would be a real dick move, especially when I'm the rich one and can help take care of him. 

There's gotta be more to the story here. I don't know what but you don't attack a guy who has clearly taken care of you, clearly will still take care of you over a witch doctor story. It's so outrageous that I think it might be true? It doesn't make sense. Pogba and Mbappe aren't in the same league. They play on the French team together. Winning World Cups is fun - I assume so, I'll report back after we do this year. 

So now you have Pogba's brother putting on a bizarre video threatening to reveal secrets. Secrets that will apparently cost Paul Pogba sponsors and money and things like that. Naturally Paul is denying any of these stories and rightfully so. All I know is this is one of the most bizarre stories in sports I can remember. Fitting on the anniversary of Bishop Sycamore.
