Suspended for four years by the Italian anti-doping tribunal following a positive testosterone test, Paul Pogba had attempted to reduce his ban by claiming contamination from a dietary supplement prescribed by a US doctor.
This plea was unsuccessful, but the French international subsequently appealed the decision, deeming it “incorrect” on his Instagram account. While the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne (CAS) considers the appeal (likely by the end of 2024 or early 2025), Paul Pogba is taking some time for himself. He recently traveled to Guinea and even gave an interview to Forbes where he discussed his future in football.
Indeed, the Italian press has provided more details about Paul Pogba’s future. According to several media outlets including Sportmediaset, the paths of Paul Pogba and Juventus could soon diverge permanently.
The French midfielder has unfollowed the Turin club on social media, a clear sign that things are changing behind the scenes: his contract expires on June 30, 2026, but the situation has become significantly more complicated following his four-year suspension imposed by the National Anti-Doping Agency in February after a positive DHEA test on August 20, 2023. Pogba is currently on minimum wage, but his dismissal could occur soon.
