The reduction in his ban is expected to lead to Pogba’s contract termination with Juventus, making him a free agent. Talks between Pogba and Juventus are set to begin following the verdict from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Both sides seem to agree that a mutual separation would be the best path forward, as the 2018 World Cup winner looks for a new challenge in his career.
Pogba is expected to attract interest from clubs in Europe, the USA, and Saudi Arabia, where his experience and talent could be a valuable addition. Meanwhile, Juventus’ manager Thiago Motta said, “The club will decide what to do about Pogba. He was a great player but he hasn’t played for a long time. I’m only focused on the present.”
As Pogba looks ahead to a new chapter, many in the football world are eagerly awaiting his comeback. Whether it be in Europe or abroad, the Frenchman’s return will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated stories in football.
