JAKARTA - Paul Pogba's fate finally came to light after the French midfielder officially left Juventus and is now free of transfer.

The Italian club said in a statement on its official website announcing Pogba would leave Juventus on November 30, 2024.

"Juventus Football Club and Paul Pogba announced that they have reached an agreement to terminate their contracts as of November 30, 2024," Juventus said in a statement, citing ANTARA news, Sunday, November 16, 2024.

Furthermore, Juventus expressed his gratitude and appreciation for what Pogba gave to the club.

"The club wishes the best for its future professional career," added Juventus.

Pogba's career did not go smoothly in his second term with Juventus since joining in 2022 from Manchester United. The 31-year-old player has often been plagued by injuries and has last stumbled upon doping.

In the 2022/23 season, he only played 10 times throughout the season and was plagued by doping problems in the 2023/24 season.

In the 2023/24 season, when he had only played in two matches, Pogba stumbled on a doping case and allowed him to be banned from playing for 4 years and absent until the end of the season.

The sentence was reduced to just 18 months after he filed an appeal. Pogba could actually play again in January, but Juventus decided not to defend.
