Paul Pogba This Friday he received good news for his interests. He will be able to return to the playing field in March 2025 after CAS reduced his doping sanction from four years to 18 months. ”Finally the nightmare is over,” the Frenchman said in a statement.
The Juventus footballer, 31, appealed the punishment imposed on him by the Italian Anti-Doping Court on February 29, 2024 after testing positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) after a Serie A match against Udinese on August 20, 2023. “The penalty is now 18 months, starting September 11, 2023,” the director general of CAS, Matthieu Reeb, told the Reuters agency.
He is not at Juventus
Starting in January he will be able to start training with Juventus, an entity with which he has a contract until 2026, to get in shape for March. However, that is unlikely to happen. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on its front page on Saturday that: ”Pogba will return in March, but not to Juve.” Most of the Italian media echoed that the Bianconeri would terminate their contract.
So, the world champion, who has been training alone since his sanction, far from the club’s facilities and earning around 2,000 euros a month (the minimum salary required by the agreement) will have to find a new destination . MLS could be an option, though Europe remains his priority.
Attorneys for both parties are now in contact to find a mutually agreeable solution.
