Authorized to play again from March 2025, French midfielder Paul Pogba will not return to play with the Juventus jersey.
The North American Championship (MLS) or its Saudi Arabian counterpart, these are the avenues studied by Paul Pogba’s agents, according to Nicolo Schira. Via Xthe Italian journalist indicates on Saturday Juventus’ desire to part ways with the 31-year-old French midfielder. A decision visibly accepted without difficulty by the advice of the 2018 world champion, linked with the Italian club until June 30, 2026.
The leaders of the Old Lady waited for the
decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)
to fully engage in their action. On Friday, the sports court reduced the suspension for doping imposed a year ago on Paul Pogba to 18 months. The former Manchester United player will be able to return to the field in March 2025. By then, and perhaps very soon, he will be released from his contract with the Bianconeri.
“I have never knowingly violated the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency”
The Italian federation authorizes a club to “break” the lease of one of its players in the event of suspension for doping. Juventus would thus be relieved of a significant salary. Paul Pogba receives around 11 million euros per year, reduced to… 2,000 euros per month since the sanction. Another reason for the Piedmontese club to part ways with “La pioche”, the new coach Thiago Motta is not counting on the Frenchman.
« I have always declared that I have never knowingly violated the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency when I took a dietary supplement prescribed to me by a doctor, which does not affect or improve the performance of male athletes… This has been an extremely difficult time in my life as everything I have worked so hard for has been put on hold. Thanks again for all the love and support. I can’t wait to get back on the pitch,” Pogba reacted, Friday via a press release sent to the media.
