Paul Pogba's Juventus career is over as director confirms Serie A giants are 'invested in different players'

The French midfielder saw his doping ban cut short to 18 months from four years, following a successful appeal in the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and is slated to return to action in March 2025. Pogba is keen to restart his career with Juventus and is even willing to take a pay cut to get back in the fold.

Although Pogba has a contract with the Serie A giants until June 2026, Giuntoli made it clear that the club is prepared for life without him.

"Our position is clear. Pogba has been a great player, he has been out for a long time and last year we were forced to invest in other players," Giuntoli told DAZN ahead of the club's home match against Lazio. "So now the squad is complete as it is."

There were reports which claimed that Juventus were seeking an amicable exit route for Pogba and Giuntoli's confirmation has sealed the midfielder's fate. However, given his quality, the French star should have little trouble finding a potential suitor.

Juventus remain unbeaten in Serie A and climbed to the second spot in the standings after eking out a narrow 1-0 victory over Lazio on Saturday evening. They will be back in action on Tuesday in the Champions League when they face VFB Stuttgart at home.
