Pogba has been suspended since September 2023 after failing a doping test the previous month.

He was initially given a four-year ban, but the suspension has been reduced to 18 months, meaning the French midfielder can return to action in March 2025.

The ex-Manchester United midfielder has said he is ready to remain at the Allianz Stadium, but the club think otherwise and started talks to terminate his deal weeks ago.

Thiago Motta and Cristiano Giuntoli reiterated that Pogba was not part of the club’s plans, so the two parties will soon split.

Pogba returned to Juventus on a free transfer from Manchester United in 2022. His contract at the Allianz Stadium runs out in June 2026.
