Big announcement on the future of Paul Pogba!

This Tuesday, Paul Pogba makes another big comeback in the news, but not for sporting reasons. The trial of his brother Mathias Pogba and five other defendants for attempted extortion against the 2018 world champion opens in Paris. The facts date back to March 2022, when Paul Pogba was kidnapped and threatened by armed men demanding 13 million euros from him, claiming to have “protected” him without his consent. Under pressure, Pogba paid 100,000 euros before filing a complaint in July 2022. The investigation also revealed additional pressure placed on his mother.

Pogba doesn't want MLS or Saudi Arabia

A dark affair which will take precedence for a few days over the sporting aspect of Paul Pogba's career. However, this heralds a major turning point in the months to come. After his positive doping test in August 2023 during a Juventus match against Udinese, Paul Pogba initially suspended for four years by the Italian authorities saw the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduce his sanction to 18 months. From next March, La Pioche will resume competition after resuming training in January. But in which club?

In a few days, Pogba's contract at Juventus will be officially terminated and the question of the French international midfielder's next club remains unresolved. In recent hours, the Parisian has nevertheless provided important information on the file. While a signing in MLS or Saudi Arabia seemed to hold the rope, the daily ensures that Pogba's plan would be quite different, namely joining a European club. Club which would not be OM for the moment since the rumors sending him to Marseille would only be an unfounded rumor. “All options are on the table because the next move will undoubtedly be the most important of his career,” announces a relative in the columns of the daily.
