It is in March that Paul Pogba will be able to return to playing football, after the reduction of his doping suspension ; however, it is increasingly certain that this return will not be made with the Juventus jersey .

Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Thursday that both the club and the player’s lawyers are working to have the contract termination announced during the current international break. The contract is due to run until 2026, but as Bianconeri coach Thiago Motta does not count on Pogba, he is happy about his departure from the club.

This option is also attractive for Juventus from a financial point of view, which, due to the doping suspension and this contract termination, will save around 30 million euros in salary. According to the same source, Pogba’s most likely destination will be MLS – the 2025 season will begin next February, shortly before the French midfielder’s suspension ends.

This second spell for Pogba at Juventus has lasted since 2022, when the midfielder left Manchester United , free of charge, after six years at the club that had paid 105 million euros to the vecchia signora for him, in 2016. In this second spell at the Turin club, Pogba only played 12 games for the club, due to physical problems and then due to the suspension that is now approaching its end.
