Pogba’s ban, imposed following a positive doping test in September 2023, officially ended on March 10, 2025. His contract with Juventus was terminated in November 2024, making him a free agent and opening the door for a potential move to top European leagues.
After successfully appealing his initial four-year ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), speculation has intensified regarding his next destination. At 28, Pogba has attracted interest from clubs like Marseille and his former side, Manchester United.
Although he previously held discussions with Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim about a possible third spell at Old Trafford, recent reports suggest negotiations have stalled. Meanwhile, Manchester City has emerged as a potential suitor as Pep Guardiola looks to revamp his squad. However, Pogba’s deep connection with United could complicate a switch to their city rivals.
Additionally, the Frenchman’s recent appearances at Major League Soccer (MLS) games have fueled rumors of a move to the U.S., with David Beckham’s Inter Miami reportedly leading the race for his signature.
