Why does Juventus want to get rid of Pogba?

According to reports from Italy, Juventus is considering terminating Paul Pogba's contract, even though he will be eligible to return to play in March 2025. The former Manchester United midfielder may breach the terms of his contract.

Details: Pogba was suspended for four years after failing a doping test following the match against Udinese in August 2023. However, on Friday, his ban was reduced to 18 months following a successful appeal at the European Arbitration Court.

Although the French player will be able to return to training in January and to official matches in March, his return could pose financial problems for Juventus. His salary reportedly stands at €8 million plus €2 million in bonuses, but during his suspension, he was receiving only €2,000 per month.

• Pogba will return soon, but not to Juventus. Where will the midfielder continue his career?

Furthermore: Аccording to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus intends to transfer Pogba to another team rather than reintegrate him into the squad. Thiago Motta already has players like Teun Koopmeiners, Kenan Yildiz, and Douglas Luiz who can play the attacking midfielder role. If it is proven that Pogba violated the contract terms by failing the doping test, the club will be able to terminate the agreement without any further consequences.
