After doping ban
“Squad full” – Juve kicks Pogba out
Former French soccer world champion Paul Pogba is on the verge of leaving the traditional Italian club Juventus Turin following his doping ban.
"Paul was a great player. Last year and this year we were forced to invest in other players and our position is clear: at the moment our squad is full," said Juve sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli on Sky Sport Italia. Pogba could play again from March 2025 after the end of his suspension.
Testosterone levels too high
In August 2023, after a Serie A match between Juventus and Udinese Calcio, Pogba showed a testosterone level that was too high. The B sample confirmed the result. The competent Italian sports court banned the midfielder for four years at the end of February. Pogba appealed and was partially successful. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) was of the opinion that the player had not deliberately doped and reduced the 31-year-old's doping ban to 18 months in October. Pogba had given assurances that he wanted to play for Juve again and would accept a reduced salary to do so.
