  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The France international is approaching the end of a doping ban that led to his contract at Serie A side Juventus being terminated. Pogba is available as a free agent and will be clear to resume his professional career from March.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Various clubs from around the world, including Manchester United and Marseille, have been linked with moves to bring Pogba onto their books. There has also been talk of the 31-year-old midfielder chasing the American dream.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    He is in the United States at present, as he works on building his fitness, and took the opportunity to catch Inter Miami in action when they lined up against New York City FC. Pogba was one of several A-list guests at that fixture, alongside the likes of Serena Williams and Eva Longoria.

    Ex-United star Pogba caught up with Red Devils legend Beckham while in Florida, and may have floated the idea of joining the Herons’ ranks during that discussion. He does, however, represent a gamble for any potential employer having not made a competitive appearance since September 3, 2024.

  • WHAT NEXT?

    If Pogba were to be offered a deal by Inter Miami, then he would join forces with eight-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi. The Argentine superstar, who is the reigning MVP of MLS, is into the final year of his contract at Chase Stadium but may see an extension option triggered for 2026.
