On the verge of leaving Juventus, Paul Pogba should be free in January. To sign where? His ambition to play in the 2026 World Cup limits the choices…
While several consistent sources explain that Paul Pogba’s ambition is to play in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, this considerably reduces the Juventus player’s choices for the seasons to come. “He will have stages to go through, but it is excellent news, he will be able to play again from March” commented Didier Deschamps, clearly suggesting that the door of the Blues remained open for the 2018 world champion.
His ambition closes the doors to Saudi Arabia and MLS
However, when the coach mentions the famous “steps to take”it is difficult to imagine that this could be done outside of Europe. It is not by joining MLS or the Saudi Pro League that Pogba will give guarantees of a return to the forefront.
To achieve his goal and become a player for the France team again, Paul Pogba must avoid exotic destinations and even, if possible, stay in one of the five major championships. The advantage of his situation is that he will be able to get back into the swing of things between March and June 2025, before attacking the 2025/2026 season like any other player.

His entourage is only discussing with Juventus to initiate the termination of his contract, and find himself free to sign for the club of his choice in January. The plan is to train for two months before slowly returning to the field in March, to be ready for next season. And it will perhaps be in Ligue 2…
