The decision is irrevocable for Paul Pogba ! The analysis of the B sample confirms the positive test of the former 2018 world champion for the presence of testosterone. According to Gazzetta dello Sportthe superstar of the Juve now has 20 days to decide whether he admits guilt or not, otherwise he will face a trial.

The origin of Conakry now risks a suspension of four years, which could be reduced by a year if he admits his fault. The regulation also provides for a reduction in the penalty if Paul Pogba manages to prove that he did not consume this substance to improve his performance. The Italian press is therefore considering a potential suspension of one or two years for the French international.

Paul Pogba and Juventus, it’s over!

Regardless, the Juventus is now considering terminating Pogba’s contract according to the latest revelations from the Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport. If a suspension of more than six months is pronounced, the Italian club could terminate the contract of the Franco-Malian, which would represent significant savings, given that “La Pioche” had signed until 2026 with an annual salary of 10 million eurosbonuses included.

However, the Journal mentions that the Juventus could take his time, because the salary of Pogba is now reduced to the strict minimum, i.e. 42,500 euros per year, during the duration of the procedure. In addition, a clause in the 30-year-old’s contract provides for penalties in the event of termination before next June. Thus, the Juventus could wait until the end of the season, but the result would be the same, leaving the future of Paul Pogba still so uncertain…
