Paul Pogba and Juventus Part Ways Amidst Doping Ban Reduction: A Fresh Start in 2025
Paul Pogba's time with Juventus is coming to an end following a mutual agreement to terminate his contract, effective November 30. The 31-year-old French midfielder's departure comes after a doping controversy that led to a four-year suspension in February. However, this ban was later reduced to 18 months, starting from the initial provisional ban in September 2023. This means that Pogba can begin training again in January 2025, with eligibility to return to competitive play in March 2025. With his Juventus contract ending, Pogba is now free to explore new opportunities during the January transfer window.
In his farewell message, Pogba expressed gratitude for his time with Juventus, acknowledging both the highs and lows of his career with the club. Despite the setbacks, including a significant reduction in his salary as part of an agreement with the players' union, he remained thankful to Juventus fans for their unwavering support during challenging times. The Italian club, in turn, wished Pogba well for his future endeavors as he looks forward to joining a new club and revitalizing his career.
Pogba's recent years have been marred by injuries and limited playing time. He only managed a few appearances during the 2022-23 season and barely featured before his suspension last year. Nevertheless, his career achievements remain noteworthy, including multiple Serie A titles with Juventus and a World Cup victory with the French national team in 2018. Pogba’s career began at Manchester United, where he won the Europa League and FA Cup in his first season back after a record-breaking transfer from Juventus in 2016. Now, as he prepares for a fresh start, Pogba is determined to make a strong comeback in the football world.
