Paul Pogba to leave Juventus this month after contract termination
Paul Pogba is set to become a free agent this month after reaching an agreement with Juventus to terminate his contract.
Pogba has not played for Juventus since September 2023 when he was suspended following a positive test result for for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). He was later handed a four-year ban, which was reduced to 18 months upon appeal.
The 31-year-old, who has previously played for Manchester United across two spells, will be able to play football again from March 2025 but the midfielder has not revealed a future destination amid links with Inter Miami.
"My time at Juventus has come to an end," Pogba, whose contract was due to run until the summer of 2026, said in a statement. "It has been a privilege to pull on the shirt of the bianconeri and to share so many special moments together.
"I cherish the memories we made. They live on. Even in the most difficult moments over the past year, your support was crucial and I want to thank Juve fans around the world for their compassion.
"It has been a pleasure to have experienced so many great moments with my team-mates over the years and I wish them every success in the future. I am looking forward to the next chapter of my career and to stepping out on the pitch with my next club."
A Juventus statement read: "Juventus Football Club and Paul Pogba announce that they have reached a mutual agreement for the termination of their contract as of 30 November, 2024. The club wishes Paul the very best for his professional future."
Pogba started his senior career at Manchester United before joining Juventus for a first spell in 2012. He won four successive Serie A titles with the Italian side before returning to United in 2016 for what was then a world-record transfer fee of £89 million.
The Frenchman, who has 91 caps for his country, rejoined Juventus on a free transfer in July 2022, signing a four-year deal. Pogba scored the third of France's goals in the 2018 World Cup final, helping to inspire his side to a 4-2 over Croatia in Moscow.
