Paul Pogba Terminates Contract with Juventus

Paul Pogba has mutually agreed to terminate his contract with Juventus, officially becoming a free agent ahead of his anticipated return to football after an 18-month doping ban. The former Manchester United midfielder's contract, which was set to run until 2026, ended due to Juventus' shift towards younger talent, despite Pogba's previous contributions to the team since rejoining in 2022. Following a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport that reduced his original four-year ban related to a positive test for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), Pogba can resume training in January and return to play by March. He has expressed gratitude to Juventus fans and is exploring options for his next club, with interest from teams in Europe, the Middle East, and possibly Inter Miami. The club has publicly wished him well for his future, indicating a clean break as Pogba looks to reestablish his career. As he prepares for this next chapter, speculation about his future continues to grow, particularly regarding potential links to MLS and European clubs.
