In a significant development, Juventus has officially terminated Paul Pogba’s contract, marking the end of his tumultuous second spell with the club.
The Serie A giants announced the decision on Friday, revealing that the mutual agreement will take effect from November 30, 2024.
This comes as Pogba prepares for a return to football after his four-year ban for failing a drug test was reduced to 18 months.
The French midfielder, who will be eligible to play again in March 2025, was deemed surplus to requirements under the plans of Juventus’ coach, Thiago Motta.
In their statement, Juventus expressed, “Juventus Football Club and Paul Pogba announce that they have mutually agreed to the termination of the sports performance contract, effective from 30 November 2024.”
Pogba’s second stint with Juventus has been overshadowed by injuries, controversies, and now the doping scandal.
Once hailed as a game-changer, his future in football remains uncertain, though his talent and resilience may yet see him revive his career in 2025.
Fans and analysts are now left to speculate on Pogba’s next move as the curtain closes on his Juventus chapter.
