While Paul Pogba was sanctioned as a precautionary measure, Juventus targeted his potential replacement.
Paul Pogba and Juventus Turin smell like the end of history. Provisionally sanctioned for doping after a positive test for testosterone, the French midfielder sees his future and his career threatened. Juventus Turin, which recruited him in the summer of 2022, is working behind the scenes to find a replacement.
Pogba sanctioned for doping
If there is an adjective that fits well with the many situations that Pogba has been experiencing over the last two years, it is bad luck. After the scandalous episode of the fraud of which he was the victim and the heartbreak that this caused within his biological family, La Pioche has been facing recurring injury problems for several months. The 30-year-old who thought he had finally found his bearings after returning to the field on August 20 in Serie A must now face another big problem.
The affair of testosterone, a prohibited substance that he took on the advice of a doctor friend who lives in the United States. As a result, the player is in the crosshairs of the Italian Anti-Doping Agency. This body sanctioned him on Monday as a precautionary measure after his testosterone test turned out to be positive. The player now risks a sanction of between 2 to 4 years.

Partey targeted by Juventus
To deal with this possible sanction and probably a termination of Pogba’s contract, the leaders of Juventus have Thomas Partey in their sights.
According to information from Team Talk, the Bianconeri have a weakness for Thomas Partey. Italian leaders want to recruit the Ghanaian international next summer.
Under contract with Arsenal until June 2025, Partey has an estimated market value of €35 million. Mikel Arteta values his player and certainly won’t let him go.
