Juventus superstar Paul Pogba is on the verge of returning to football fields after the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced his sentence. According to Calciomercato, the Frenchman’s future hinges between Europe and North America, with Olympique Marseille and Los Angeles FC reportedly vying for his services.
Pogba will be back in action at the start of 2025. However, his future lies far away from the Allianz Stadium. Reports say Juventus are negotiating the 31-year-old’s contract termination with his representatives. Despite his elite status in world football, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner has often been the subject of controversy.
As it appears, Juventus chiefs have had enough. The record-time Italian champions are keen to sever ties with Pogba before the January transfer window to enable their unsettled star to find a new club on short notice. Pogba’s lengthy spell on the sidelines has tarnished his reputation, yet he could still reignite his career outside Turin.
With Juventus working around the clock to release the towering midfield, Marseille and Los Angeles are lurking in the shadows.
Valentin Carboni’s season-ending injury has left Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi strapped for reliable options in the engine room. The Argentine will reportedly return to parent club Inter in the coming weeks to receive treatment as the French giants look to terminate his loan deal.
De Zerbi is seemingly willing to give Pogba the benefit of the doubt as he hopes to fill the vacancy. However, LAFC could spoil his plans. After hiring the likes of Gareth Bale and Giorgio Chiellini in the past, the MLS giants are eager to add another household name to their squad.
A move overseas would see Pogba reunite with his countryman Olivier Giroud.
