Paul Pogba will leave Juventus on 30 November after agreeing a mutual termination of his contract.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 31-year-old was given a four-year ban in February for a doping offence – but in October that was reduced to 18 months<\/a>, starting from his initial provisional ban in September 2023.<\/p>\n Sources close to Pogba told BBC Sport he can resume training in January and will be eligible to play again from March.<\/p>\n The France midfielder will now be free to join a new club in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n “The club wishes Paul the very best for his professional future,” said Juventus. <\/p>\n Pogba said: “It has been a privilege to pull on the shirt of the Bianconeri and to share so many special moments together.<\/p>\n “I cherish the memories we made. They live on.<\/p>\n “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.<\/p>\n “I am looking forward to the next chapter of my career and to stepping out on the pitch with my next club.”<\/p>\n Before the ban Pogba had been earning \u00a36.9m a year at the Italian club on a contract running until June 2026.<\/p>\n Juventus were thought to have cut his salary to about \u00a32,000 a month, as part of a collective agreement between clubs and the players’ union. <\/p>\n Pogba has not played much football in recent years. He managed just 162 minutes across five appearances during the 2022-23 season, and had played a total of 51 minutes as a substitute last season before his suspension.<\/p>\n The ban reduction – and now his exit from Juventus – gives him the chance to restart his career next year.<\/p>\n Pogba started out at Manchester United before moving to Juventus, where he won Serie A in each of his first four seasons – including two Doubles.<\/p>\n He then returned to Old Trafford for a world-record \u00a389m in 2016<\/a>, and in his first season won the Europa League and FA Cup.<\/p>\n Pogba, who has 91 caps for France, then helped Les Bleus to 2018 World Cup glory, scoring in the final as they beat Croatia 4-2 in Russia<\/a>.<\/p>\n Injuries and a lack of form interrupted his final three seasons at Manchester United, and he failed to excel on his return as a free agent to Juve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
