Paul Pogba could try Major League Soccer after his doping suspension was reduced to 18 months, but Juventus are unlikely to keep him. The midfielder could head to the United States, with Los Angeles FC showing interest.
Paul Pogba received a four-year ban for a positive doping test after a 3-0 win against Udinese in August 2023. In the meantime, his suspension has been reduced to 18 months, so he has permission to return to the football from March 2025 and can start training as early as January, but it probably won’t be at Juventus. The new coach Thiago Motta does not count on the experienced midfielder, who will therefore be allowed to leave.
The 2018 world champion with France has been linked with a return to his homeland, especially Pogba has had discussions with Olympique de Marseille, but there are also options outside of Europe at stake. According to the journalist Nicola Schirathe former Manchester United player could join Saudi Arabia or MLS, while other Italian reports indicate that Los Angeles FC are interested in the midfielder.
The Californian club contacted Pogba and would like to acquire him before the 2025 season. The Frenchman’s place in the squad could be freed by his compatriot Hugo Lloris or Carlos Velawhose contracts expire at the end of the year. Pogba would reunite with his former national team teammate at LAFC Olivier Giroudwho also left the Apennine peninsula for MLS this summer, notably from AC Milan.
