Paul Pogba has spoken about his plans for his football career moving forward after his doping ban was reduced.
Paul Pogba has finally addressed his future as he prepares to return to football in March 2025 after his 18-month doping ban.
Following a tumultuous period that saw his initial four-year suspension reduced, the midfielder has expressed relief and eagerness to get back on the pitch.
Pogba acknowledged ongoing discussions between his representatives and Juventus, where he currently has a contract until 2026.
Despite this, the club is reportedly looking to part ways with the 31-year-old by mutual agreement, with interest from clubs like Marseille emerging.
Former teammate Patrice Evra has been vocal about wanting to see Pogba join Marseille, even promising to contact their sporting director, Medhi Benatia, to advocate for the move.

While Pogba has dismissed Evra's enthusiasm, saying, “I laugh because he's Uncle Pat, he said it jokingly,” he did not entirely close the door on a transfer, stating, “Of course, you never know what tomorrow will bring, so never say never.”
Reflecting on his reduced ban, Pogba expressed gratitude for the opportunity to return to football, saying, “I was really happy. I hadn't done anything, why would they give me four years? It’s like I’ve been given another chance. 'I've been given back something that had been taken away from me. It's a new lease on life. March is tomorrow, it'll come quickly. And it's something I can't wait to do."
He emphasised his eagerness to reclaim his passion for the game, viewing the coming months as a fresh start.

Harambee Stars put in a spirited fight but could not make their chances pay as Borris Enow's freekick in the 60th minute dented their hopes of sealing AFCON 2025 qualification.
The French international is expected to resume training in January, allowing him to prepare for his long-awaited comeback.
His original suspension stemmed from testing positive for DHEA, a banned substance, though the ruling clarified that it primarily affects females.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport's decision to reduce the ban has been a significant relief for Pogba, who had feared retirement could be on the horizon.
