the club’s intriguing message on Pogba’s return

French football has just experienced a particularly turbulent week. Monday, Antoine Griezmann announced to everyone’s surprise his international retirement, three days before the announcement of Didier Deschamps’ list for the October gathering. And on Friday, Paul Pogba, his great friend with the Blues, saw his sanction for doping reduced from four years to… 18 months. News which allows the Pickaxe to be able to return to the green rectangle from March.

“He’s been away for a long time.”

Enough to question the rest of his career when at 31 years old, he is still under contract with Juventus Turin until 2026. And while we could have imagined the Old Lady rejoicing at this news, the Italians are quite evasive. Asked about this, Cristiano Giuntoli, the director of Juventus, does not want to rush into this subject: “We will make a decision after the official declaration from CAS (Tribunal of Arbitration for Sport). He was a great player, but he has been away for a long time… let’s wait and see what will happen“, he explained. The next few weeks will therefore be decisive.
