Paul Pogba is back on the media field. While waiting to put on his boots again in March 2025, the 31-year-old French international continues interviews as part of the film’s promotional tour.4 zeros” in which he plays a role. Yesterday, the footballer under contract until 2026 at Juventus spoke about his future in the columns of the Gazzetta dello Sport. And he is visibly willing to make sacrifices to put on the bianconera tunic again. “I am even ready to lower my salary to play for Juve again. I want to come back. (…) It’s not all about me, but also about Juve’s plans and how I train. I want to put myself on the same level as others to follow Thiago Motta’s team: now the reality is that I am a Juve player and I am preparing to play for Juve.
But that’s obviously not the Old Lady’s plan. Yesterday, several Italian media explained that Juve is not willing to continue its union with him. Although he proposed lowering his salary, which is currently €10 million including bonus per year, the native of Langy-sur-Marne has no or very little chance of wearing the Turin jersey again. An amicable or unilateral divorce seems the most likely option today. It’s the feeling of Sports Mediasetwho writes on this subject: “the Bianconeri do not want to reinstate the Frenchman and are ready for a unilateral resolution: it will be decided by January (…) The midfielder does not want to hear about a consensual separation before March, when he will be able to return on the pitch, while in Turin it was made clear that its future would be far from black and white colors.”
The door is closed in Turin
Tuttosport goes in the same direction. “From chance to chaos, from waiting to declarations: between Juventus and Paul Pogba it is always an open game, and it will continue during these hours. Objective: resolve the question of the contract, clarify then say goodbye.” On the side of La Gazzetta dello Sport, we are rather firm regarding his case and his future in Piedmont. “Today, Pogba is not considered suitable for the Juventus project for physical, behavioral and economic reasons. The past, although glorious, is an element that counts for little in today’s football. Pogba, even before the doping affair, no longer seemed suited to a high-level championship where intensity, resistance and continuity are essential. So much so that there was talk of his departure to Arabia or the USA: the disqualification prevented the farewell desired by the club from materializing. »
The pink paper publication continues: “all our wishes go to Pogba, dominant and formidable for years, for a return to the field which will still give him satisfaction. But that certainly won’t happen with the Juventus jersey. The story will not have the happy ending dreamed of by the romantics.” Asked by us about Pogba’s situation, Michele Tossani, journalist for Tuttosport and the Corriere della Serragave us his point of view on the subject. “It’s probably over. His return is not possible. Juve has turned the page and there is no chance for him to come back. I hope for him that he finds a team and plays again. But it will not be Juventus (…) For me, the problem is also athletic. He needs to get back into shape. This requires a lot of time. If he was already in good shape, ok. But this is not the case.” He then added regarding the feelings of the supporters on this thorny issue.“The world of Juve supporters is a very wide world. Every supporter has their opinion, but, in general, I can say that the fans know that Pogba is out of the project. Some would like to find him despite everything. But that’s not possible.” In Italy, the press has already closed the Pogba-Juve story.
