I will join for free once my contract is terminated with Juventus but only on ONE CONDITION’- Paul Pogba reveals the only condition that will make Him join Chelsea amid speculation that the former Man United man is returning back to premier league
Paul Pogba, the former Manchester United midfielder, recently opened up about the possibility of joining Chelsea once his contract with Juventus is terminated, but under a single condition. Amid growing rumors that he might return to the Premier League, Pogba clarified the terms that would bring him back to English football.
As Pogba continues to recover from a challenging chapter in his career, new reports indicate that he has turned down an offer to join a Russian club, as he prepares for his anticipated return to professional football. The Frenchman’s career was at risk when he was handed a four-year suspension due to a doping violation. However, in a twist of fate, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) significantly reduced his suspension to just 18 months, allowing Pogba the possibility of returning to the pitch as early as March.
Initially, Pogba faced the daunting prospect of retirement if the original ban had been upheld. Yet, with CAS’s decision, he can now resume training in January and make his comeback in 2024. However, it appears that his future lies away from Juventus, with numerous clubs vying for his services.
One of the more unexpected suitors for Pogba’s talent was Russia’s Broke Boys FC, according to a report by France Football. The club, which plays in the Media Football League—a league created in 2022 and composed of celebrities and influencers—approached Pogba with an offer. The team, founded by well-known social media influencers risenHAHA and Dmitriy Egorov, is not officially affiliated with FIFA, but has gained recognition for winning the league title in 2024 in front of 27,000 fans. Despite their success, Pogba reportedly declined their offer.
In the midst of these developments, Pogba expressed his relief after being cleared of his doping charges. His fine of €5,000 (about £4,176) was also set aside, marking the end of what he described as a nightmare. The World Cup-winning midfielder released a heartfelt statement, celebrating the CAS decision and expressing gratitude to those who supported him through his legal battle.
“Finally, the nightmare is over,” Pogba said. “Following the decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, I can now look ahead with hope and pursue my dreams once more. I have always maintained that I did not knowingly violate the World Anti-Doping Agency’s regulations. The supplement I took was prescribed by a doctor and had no effect on my athletic performance.”
Pogba also emphasized his commitment to integrity in the sport, acknowledging the seriousness of the violation while expressing his appreciation for the judges who heard his case. “This has been one of the most distressing periods of my life, as everything I have worked for was put on hold. But now, I can look forward to the future. Thank you to everyone who has supported me during this difficult time.”
As speculation continues regarding his next move, Pogba’s potential return to the Premier League has sparked considerable interest. His talents are well-known from his time at Manchester United, and should he choose to return, it would undoubtedly shake up the football world. However, Pogba has made it clear that Chelsea would only be an option under specific conditions, leaving fans to wonder what the future holds for the French superstar.
