Paul Pogba Set to Leave Juventus

Paul Pogba is on the verge of terminating his contract with Juventus as talks between the two parties are reportedly in advanced stages. Following a doping ban that was reduced from four years to 18 months, Pogba is set to return to competitive football in March 2025, but Juventus has decided to part ways with him instead of keeping him until his contract expires in 2026. The club aims to avoid paying penalties for interrupting his contract, allowing Pogba to leave as a free agent and pursue opportunities with interested clubs in England, Europe, Saudi Arabia, and the MLS. Despite Pogba's expressed desire to continue with Juventus, the club's plans differ, leading to imminent contract termination. The 31-year-old midfielder, who has been earning a minimal salary during his suspension, is expected to explore a potential return to Manchester United, among other options, as noted by former player Louis Saha. An official announcement regarding the termination is anticipated in the coming days.
