Good news for Manchester United as Juventus has officially issued a new statement that signifies their willingness on the move of Paul Pogba as he reportedly enters “advanced” discussions about a potential return to Manchester United. The statement also contains the amount the move would cost.

Paul Pogba’s four-year suspension for a doping violation has been reduced to 18 months following an appeal. The 31-year-old midfielder is still expected to leave Juventus.

 

Pogba, who rejoined Juventus in July 2022, faced a significant setback when he failed a doping test in 2023, resulting in a suspension that threatened his career. After appealing the decision, his ban was shortened, allowing him to resume training in January and return to play in March. Despite this development, Juventus is likely to mutually terminate his contract, which is set to run until 2026, according to Fabrizio Romano.

 

In his first year back at Juventus, Pogba struggled, making only 12 appearances before his suspension. Juventus CEO Maurizio Scanavino has confirmed that discussions are ongoing with Pogba’s representatives to reach a resolution.

 

Although he can train again starting in January, Pogba is anticipated to sign with a new club during the winter transfer window, with Marseille reportedly interested in acquiring him. Malick Traore from NCI noted that Pogba is in “advanced discussions” to reunite with former Manchester United teammate Mason Greenwood at Marseille, who are currently performing well in Ligue 1.

 

Pogba tested positive for DHEA during a random check at the beginning of the 2023/24 season, with the confirmation of the test results coming in October 2023. He has consistently claimed he did not “knowingly or deliberately” ingest any banned substances.
