World Cup winner Paul Pogba is poised to make a return to football after serving his 18-month doping ban. The French midfielder was handed a four-year ban in September 2023 after testing positive for doping, but he successfully appealed the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS), which reduced the ban to 18 months.
Pogba’s contract with Juventus was terminated on November 15, 2023, leaving him without a club. However, with his ban now complete, the 31-year-old is available as a free agent and has been linked with several clubs, including his former side Manchester United.
According to reports, Pogba was in contact with Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim regarding a potential third spell with the club. Although talks between the two parties have gone quiet in recent weeks, Pogba remains a top target for several clubs.
Manchester City is the latest club to be linked with the midfielder, with the team looking to overhaul and rebuild in the summer. However, Pogba’s connections with Manchester United make a move to Manchester City unlikely.
Instead, Major League Soccer (MLS) is emerging as a plausible option for Pogba. The Frenchman has been spotted attending MLS games in recent weeks, fueling speculation about his interest in joining the league.
David Beckham’s Inter Miami is reportedly the favorite to land Pogba, who is eager to get back to playing football at the highest level. With his ban now behind him, Pogba is ready to embark on a new chapter in his career.
Pogba’s return to football is highly anticipated, and several clubs are vying for his signature. As the midfielder weighs his options, one thing is certain – Paul Pogba is ready to make a comeback and prove himself once again on the football pitch.
