Paul Pogba, the 31-year-old French midfielder, is making strides toward a return to professional football after nearly two years away from the game. Following his contract termination with Juventus last week, Pogba has resumed private training in a determined effort to reignite his career in one of Europe’s top football leagues.
Pogba has been proactive in his recovery, preparing for regular training by January 2025. This timeline aligns perfectly with the end of his doping ban in March 2025. Originally handed a four-year suspension, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reduced his ban to 18 months, allowing him to re-enter professional football sooner than expected.
With a strong determination to return to top-tier competition, Pogba is focused on regaining his best form in time for his comeback. His ultimate goal is not only to make an impact at club level but also to earn a spot back in the France national team under coach Didier Deschamps. Representing his country again is a major motivator as he pushes himself in training.
While multiple clubs from across Europe have shown interest, Pogba’s agents are still in talks, though no formal offers have been made. For now, Pogba is fully concentrated on his fitness, training in Miami with a customized program to ensure he’s ready to perform at the highest level.
By January 2025, Pogba aims to return to competitive football in peak condition, ready to reestablish himself as one of the sport’s top talents.
