Paul Pogba breaks silence on Juventus future, Marseille links

Paul Pogba has refused to rule out a move to Marseille amidst uncertainty over his future at current club Juventus.

Recent reports have claimed that the 31-year-old midfielder has been in advanced talks with the Ligue 1 club over a potential move in January.

Pogba has been permitted to resume his playing career in March 2025 after seeing his four-year doping ban reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) earlier this month.

However, both Pogba and Juventus are expected to agree a mutual termination of his contract, which expires in June 2026, with journalist Fabrizio Romano recently stating that negotiations between both parties are 'proceeding as expected'.

Pogba only made two appearances for Juve last season due to his suspension and featured just ten times during the 2022-23 campaign due to injury.

Pogba keeps door open for future Ligue 1 move

The France international has now been tipped to return to his homeland and continue his career with Marseille by former Manchester United teammate Patrice Evra, who briefly represented the Phocaeans towards the end of his career in 2017.

"He wants to play football, wherever it is, for example why not OM? I'm going to call [sporting director Medhi] Benatia and tell him that the door is open," Evra told reporters.

Pogba has since dismissed Evra's comments, but has not ruled out making a future switch to France, where he is somewhat surprisingly yet to play in his professional club career.

"I laugh because he's Uncle Pat, he said it jokingly," Pogba told L'Equipe. "I'm still under contract so it's not credible.

"The possibility of coming to play in Ligue 1? I'm at a club, I'm just thinking about coming back and getting out of this situation. Of course, you never know what tomorrow will bring, so never say never."

Pogba "given another chance" after doping ban reduction

Discussing the reduction of his doping ban, Pogba added: "I was really happy. I hadn't done anything, why would they give me four years? I'll be able to go back to doing what I love the most.

"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."

The decision was taken by CAS to reduce Pogba's ban after it was accepted that the midfielder's ingestion of a non-endogenous testosterone substance "was not intentional".

As well as Marseille, Pogba has been linked with a surprise move to Russian club Broke Boys FC, but France Football claims that the Frenchman rejected an offer to join them a few weeks ago.

Pogba is now able to resume training with Juventus, who currently sit third in the Serie A standings and three points behind leaders Napoli.
