Pogba's Comeback: Doping Ban Ends, New Chapter Begins
22 Nov
Summary
- Pogba returns to football after an 18-month reduced doping ban.
- He signed for AS Monaco after his Juventus contract termination.
- His brother Mathias received a prison sentence for extortion.
Paul Pogba is poised to re-enter professional football in March 2025, concluding a doping ban that was significantly reduced on appeal. The midfielder's career took a controversial turn after testing positive for a banned substance, leading to an initial four-year suspension that was later halved.
Following the termination of his contract with Juventus by mutual agreement, Pogba has signed a two-year contract with AS Monaco. This move signifies a new beginning for the player, who reportedly rejected a lucrative offer from a Saudi Pro League club to return to French football.
The period off the pitch was marked by significant personal and legal challenges, including his brother Mathias's conviction for attempted extortion. Pogba's return marks the end of a tumultuous chapter and the anticipation of a fresh start on the field.
