The former star of Juventus and Manchester United had initially received a four -year suspension, but after appealing before the Arbitral Sports Tribunal (TAS), the sanction was reduced to 18 months. Its suspension having officially ended in early March, Pogba is now free to sign with a new club as a free player.
At the speculation center on his future, Pogba has been seen chatting with Djokovic in Miami. The French midfielder shared a photo on Instagram with the 24 times winner of Grand Chelem, with in legendary : “What positive with legend and friend @djokernole.”
The meeting between the two sports superstars comes as Pogba is considering its next step in football, rumors binding it to clubs from Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Saudi Pro League. Miami, where he spends time with his family and friends, houses Inter Miami by David Beckham, a club that has already attracted world stars like Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suárez. A transfer to MLS would allow Pogba to relaunch its career in a more relaxed football environment, while benefiting from the growing attraction of the championship.
Still no club for Pogba
In addition, the Saudi pro League remains another interesting possibility. The championship has already attracted several renowned French players, including Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kanté, who both play in Al-Ittihad. In addition, the former Juventus leader, Pavel Nedved, recently joined Al-Shabab as a sports director, which strengthens speculation about a possible transfer from Pogba to Saudi Arabia.
If the offers of the best European clubs are limited due to its long absence from professional football, Pogba could nevertheless be successful in MLS or Saudi Arabia, where it would constitute a leading recruit. For the moment, the Frenchman seems to appreciate his stay in Miami, but clubs monitoring his situation, a decision on his future should take place earlier than late.
