Juventus and Paul Pogba are reportedly nearing an agreement on the termination of his contract, following a significant ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The French midfielder was initially handed a four-year ban from football after testing positive for a prohibited substance in August 2023. However, this sanction was recently reduced to 18 months, enabling him to make a return to the sport in January 2025.
Despite this positive development, both Pogba and Juventus have decided to part ways. The mutual agreement seeks to provide both parties with a fresh start, with discussions regarding the termination of his contract currently underway. These talks are anticipated to continue following the CAS decision.
There are increasing speculations regarding Pogba's potential move to Major League Soccer (MLS), a league that has seen a number of French players, such as Olivier Giroud, recently make their mark. As Pogba looks towards the next chapter of his career, the focus will be on finding the right fit in a new environment.
