Six short games. For his return to Turin last season, Paul Pogba was again handicapped by physical glitches for almost all of this 2022/2023 financial year, and he therefore had an anecdotal role within the team coached by Max Allegri.

Indeed, the 30-year-old midfielder has only played 2 of Juve’s first 3 encounters in Serie A this season, both coming on from the sidelines.

The Turinese want to review the conditions of this contract which expires in 2026 and reduce the fees received by The deck. It remains to be seen what the principal concerned will think of it, who recently had keys in Saudi Arabia…
