Paul Pogba and Juventus will go their separate ways at the end of November.
The football club writes this in a short announcement on its website on Friday evening.
“The club wishes Paul all the best in his further professional career”, writes Juventus.
The break had been under way for a while after the French midfielder had his doping ban reduced from four years to 18 months in October.
In connection with the first Serie A match last season against Udinese, 31-year-old Pogba tested positive for the preparation testosterone, which is on the International Anti-Doping Agency’s (Wada) list of prohibited substances.
The club suspended him soon after and in February the Italian anti-doping tribunal Tribunale Nazionale Antidoping (TNA) handed the French midfielder a four-year ban, which he immediately appealed to the International Court of Sports (CAS).
At the start of October, the sentence was reduced to 18 months when CAS accepted an explanation that it ‘was the result of mistakenly taking a supplement that a doctor had prescribed for him in Florida’.
The decision means that he must play football again from March next year, but it will not be for Juventus.
Paul Pogba was part of the French national team that became world champion in 2018. In total, there have been 91 appearances for Pogba in the French national team shirt.
In addition to Juventus, the midfielder has turned out for English Manchester United.
It was in Manchester United that the Frenchman had his football upbringing, but he switched to Juventus in 2012 when he failed to break through in the English club’s first team.
In the following years, Pogba did so well at Juventus that Manchester United bought the midfielder back in 2016.
The second stay at the Manchester club was also not successful, and in 2022 Pogba returned to Italian football and Juventus.
