On Saturday, Pogba took to social media to announce his departure from Juventus. 'Sometimes things in life don't go the way we want them to, but the bond I have with you fans is unforgettable,' he wrote, 'You have given me more than words can describe and I will always cherish all the love you have given me. “You will be in my heart forever. Good luck,” he wrote, tagging Juventus in the post.

On the 15th, Juventus announced that it had 'mutually agreed with Pogba to terminate his contract as of the 30th of this month'. Pogba's contract with Juventus was until June 2026. He will become a free agent on the first of next month.

Pogba is in the midst of the biggest crisis of his career. Last year, he received a four-year ban for a doping violation. “I have been informed of the decision of the Italian Anti-Doping Tribunal. I believe the ruling is wrong,” he said, adding: ”Everything I have built in my professional career is gone. I am sad, shocked and heartbroken,” he said. “As a professional athlete, I did not do anything to improve my performance by using a banned substance. I never disrespected or deceived my fellow players and supporters of the teams I played for,” he said, emphasizing that he will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Pogba tested positive for testosterone in a drug test on August 20 last year, shortly after the 2023-2024 Serie A home opener against Udinese. Pogba's camp requested that a B sample be tested as well, but the result remained positive. Testosterone, also known as the male hormone, increases endurance. It is one of the main banned substances designated by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The four-year ban will be retroactive to September of last year, when Pogba was suspended for testing positive for testosterone. 파워볼사이트 As a result, he will not be able to play until September 2027, when he will be 34 years old.

A former United youth product, Pogba blossomed at Juventus. When he returned to United in August 2016, the transfer fee was a whopping £89 million. It's still the club's highest transfer fee to date. He peaked at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where he helped France win the trophy. He became a “national hero” after scoring the winning goal in the final against Croatia.

Pogba returned to Juventus in July 2022, but his career was plagued by injuries and controversy. His career took a turn for the worst when he received a four-year ban for using banned substances.

Recently, a new path has opened up for his return. In October, his four-year anti-doping ban was reduced to 18 months after a CAS hearing. The situation changed dramatically when CAS ruled that Pogba had taken the drug by mistake, not intentionally.

Pogba, whose ban began on September 11, 2023, will be able to resume training in January 2025, his €5,000 fine will be reduced, and he will be able to take the field again next March. Now that he's out of contract with Juventus, Pogba will have plenty of suitors when he becomes a free agent. Several clubs in Europe, the Middle East, and the American MLS are interested in signing him. Recently, Jesse Lingard was asked to name an international player he would like to bring to the K League, and he named Pogba, who he played with at Man United. Lingard and Pogba are known for being close friends.

Pogba is definitely a star. There"s already been a lot of talk about him. 'Legend' Graham Souness was against Pogba's return to the English Premier League. “He's a huge talent, but he's acting like he's sitting in an armchair,” Sunnes told Team Talk, ”He's a lazy player. A midfielder has to bear everything, but he is mentally deficient,” he said in a team talk.

With the help of his “home team,” United, Pogba will begin his fitness regimen at the Carrington training ground.
