Ex-Manchester United midfielder and French international Paul Pogba has reached a mutual agreement to terminate his contract with Juventus and is now poised to join an unexpected Premier League club.

Paul Pogba has addressed rumors about a possible move to Olympique Marseille, dismissing them as “unrealistic.” The 31-year-old midfielder, who is currently serving a four-year suspension for a doping violation, has been the subject of speculation regarding his future ever since his ban was significantly reduced.

Pogba’s original suspension came after testing positive for testosterone at the start of the 2023–2024 season. However, following an appeal, the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced the ban, potentially allowing him to return to professional football by March 2025.

Despite his long absence from the field, there remains considerable interest in Pogba’s next career move, with several top European clubs reportedly keeping an eye on him. Recent rumors suggested that he was in talks with Ligue 1 side Olympique Marseille, fueled by comments from his friend and former Manchester United teammate, Patrice Evra, who hinted at recommending Pogba to Marseille’s sporting director, Medhi Benatia.

Evra’s remarks added to the speculation about Pogba’s future, but the midfielder has now set the record straight. In an interview with *L’Equipe*, Pogba dismissed the Marseille rumors, explaining, “I laugh because Uncle Pat [Evra] was joking. It’s not realistic because I still have a contract.” He emphasized that his current deal with Juventus runs until 2026.

Although Pogba’s suspension has been shortened, his future with Juventus remains uncertain. Reports suggest that his representatives and the club are discussing a possible mutual termination of his contract following a difficult period marked by injuries and limited playing time since rejoining Juventus in 2022.

With Juventus possibly looking to move on from Pogba amid the doping controversy, the Frenchman has expressed a desire to continue playing at a high level. However, any immediate move to a club like Marseille appears unlikely. For now, Pogba is focused on his return to football, set for March 2025, while his situation at Juventus remains unresolved.

Pogba’s dismissal of the Marseille rumors highlights the ongoing uncertainty around his future, but his ambition to resume his career at the top level is clear. Whether he stays in Turin or pursues new opportunities remains to be seen.
