Paul Pogba, suspended for doping after a positive test for a testosterone derivative in August 2023, will not be able to return to competition until March 2025. This 18-month suspension raises questions about his professional future. According to ESPN, the midfielder favors a return to one of the five major European championships, thus excluding destinations like MLS or Saudi Arabia.
Although rumors pointed to a move to MLS or the Middle East, according to ESPN Paul Pogba seems determined to stay in Europe. While Olympique de Marseille is regularly cited as a club interested in the player, this option still seems unclear. Patrice Evra, his former teammate in the French team, suggested that Pogba could relaunch his career at OM, but nothing concrete seems to validate this possibility…

The possibility of a return to the French team
Beyond his club future, Paul Pogba has a specific objective: find the French team. Didier Deschampsthe Blues coach, has not closed the door to a return of Pogba if he manages to regain his best physical and mental level. This prospect could encourage the player to choose a competitive club in Europe in order to prove that he is still capable of playing at the highest level. Ligue 1 could be an ideal springboard for such a return.
Interested European clubs
Several European clubs are already in contact with Pogba's entourage, ready to offer him a second chance. If Ligue 1 could be an option, the English, Italian and Spanish championships cannot be ruled out. The player will have to demonstrate that he can play one match after another and get back to his best level to hope for a return to the French team.
In conclusion, although his future remains uncertain, Paul Pogba seems to favor a return to Europe. A return to Ligue 1, particularly to OM, is a possibility to follow closely, but other major European clubs could also be in the race.
