No longer in Juventus’ plans, Paul Pogba could join a surprising destination in the coming months.
The news keeps coming for Paul Pogba in the last 24 hours. After the notification of his reduced sentence by the Arbitral Tribunal, the French international discovered that Juventus Turin no longer counted on him. But La Pioche should not remain unemployed for long since a new way out was offered to him this Saturday.
Paul Pogba pushed out by Juventus
Paul Pogba will soon return to the field. After not playing football for 14 months, the 2018 world champion finally sees the end of the tunnel approaching. Suspended for 4 years after testing positive for testosterone in February 2023, the former Manchester United player saw his sentence reduced to 18 months by the CAS this Friday. Except that if this news relieves Paul Pogba, it is not necessarily well received by Juventus who no longer count on the Frenchman.
“The club will assess the situation and, if necessary, make a decision. As far as I’m concerned, Paul Pogba was a great player, he hasn’t played for a long time. Me, I’m focused on our match tomorrow (Sunday), everything else doesn’t matter much to me.”declared Thiago Motta earlier today at a press conference.

Heading to MLS for Paul Pogba?
The return of Paul Pogba is not good news for Juventus. With his remission of sentence, the former resident of Le Havre should resume training with the Old Lady from January 2025 and thus make his return to an official match in March 2025. Which will force the Piedmontese club to recover the significant salary of Paul Pogba who was paid the bare minimum for a Serie A player since his suspension. A situation in which Juventus does not wish to find itself in any way as it is now banking on young people in midfield under the leadership of Thiago Motta.
However, a way out has been offered to the international tricolor in recent hours. According to information from Gazzetta dello Sport, Paul Pogba has been approached by several Major League Soccer clubs. Under contract with the Old Lady until 2026, La Pioche could therefore join the United States in the coming months where he could reunite with Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris, both players of Los Angeles FC.
