Juventus and Paul Pogba Part Ways: Official Announcement
Juventus Football Club has officially announced the mutual termination of their contract with Paul Pogba, effective 30 November 2024. The decision comes as a significant moment for both the club and the French midfielder, bringing an end to a challenging chapter in their shared history.
In their statement, Juventus expressed their gratitude to Pogba for his contributions and extended their best wishes for his future endeavors. "The club wishes Paul the very best for his professional future," the announcement read.
A Career of Highs and Lows
Pogba rejoined Juventus in 2022 after a six-year stint at Manchester United, where he won the Europa League and EFL Cup. However, his second spell in Turin was marred by injuries and off-field controversies. Limited appearances due to persistent fitness issues prevented the World Cup-winning midfielder from reaching the heights of his earlier career.
The situation took a dramatic turn earlier this year when Pogba received an 18-month suspension for a doping violation, which ruled him out of competitive action until 2025. The suspension left Juventus with little choice but to reconsider their long-term plans, ultimately leading to this mutual agreement.
By terminating Pogba’s contract, Juventus reportedly saves approximately €10 million in wages, providing a much-needed boost to their finances amid ongoing efforts to stabilize the club's budget.
