Italian professional football club, Juventus, has terminated Paul Pogba’s contract.

Naija News reports that the Serie A club announced this in a statement issued on Friday as the France midfielder prepares to return to action from a doping ban.

In the statement, Juventus said that they and Pogba “have reached a mutual agreement for the termination of their contract as of 30 November 2024.”

The ex-Manchester United player received a four-year suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs, but this was reduced to 18 months after he appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Pogba, who led France to victory in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, is expected to play for a club again in March 2025.

The 31-year-old player shared a post on social media after the decision from the Serie A team.

“There are moments when things don’t go the way we want, but one thing is certain: the bond I have with you, dear fans, will remain unforgettable,” Pogba wrote on Instagram.

“You have given me so much, more than I can put into words, and I will always carry with me all the affection you gave me. You’ll be in my heart, always.
“Good luck, Juventus.”
