Paul Pogba opens the door to a Ligue 1 move | OneFootball

Last week, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) significantly reduced Paul Pogba’s (31) ban from football from four years to just 18 months. That will allow the former France international to return to training in January and begin competing once against from March.

However, it is thought that the former Manchester United midfielder will not continue his career at current club Juventus. Wanting a fresh start, Pogba is currently negotiating a mutual contract termination with the Serie A giants with the view to joining a new club.

Pogba laughs off Marseille link

However, speaking to L’Équipe on Monday, Pogba stressed that he does remain under contract at Juventus. Whilst brushing off comments made by former teammate Patrice Evra regarding a move to Olympique de Marseille, stating that the former France full-back “jokingly” made the link to OM, he did open the door to a move to France.

“It wasn’t something that I thought about when I was suspended,” began Pogba, who repeatedly expressed his eagerness to return to the pitch. “I am at a club so I have just been thinking about coming back so far, about getting out of this situation. Playing in France? Why not? You don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Why not play in Ligue 1, I wouldn’t be obliged to say no,” added the former Manchester United midfielder.
