Good News For Manchester United As Juventus Has Officially Issued A New Statement That Signifies Their Willingness On The Move Of Paul Pogba As He Reportedly Enters “Advanced” Discussions About A Potential Return To Manchester United. The Statement Also Contains The Amount The Move Would Cost.

Paul Pogba’s four-year suspension for a doping violation has been reduced to 18 months following an appeal, yet the 31-year-old midfielder is anticipated to part ways with Juventus.

The former Manchester United player initially faced a four-year ban after failing a doping test in 2023, a setback that seemed to jeopardize his career. However, after appealing the decision, the suspension was shortened, enabling him to resume training in January and return to play by March. Despite this, Juventus is expected to mutually terminate his contract, which extends until 2026, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Pogba returned to Juventus in July 2022 but faced challenges in his first year, appearing in only 12 matches before his suspension. Juventus CEO Maurizio Scanavino has indicated that talks with Pogba’s representatives are ongoing to reach an agreement.

While Pogba will be eligible to train again in January, he is likely to sign with a new club during the winter transfer window, with Marseille reportedly interested.

Malick Traore from NCI has stated that Pogba is in “advanced discussions” to reunite with his former Manchester United teammate Mason Greenwood at Marseille, who are currently performing well in Ligue 1.

Pogba’s positive test for DHEA, detected during a random check at the beginning of the 2023/24 season, was confirmed in October 2023. He has consistently claimed that he did not “knowingly or deliberately” ingest any banned substances.
