the ridiculous offer rejected by Paul Pogba

the ridiculous offer rejected by Paul Pogba

This is the information that set the football world on fire last week. Suspended for doping for 4 years by the Italian anti-doping court for a positive DHEA test, Paul Pogba saw his suspension reduced to 18 months by the CAS. The latter later justified this choice: “She based her decision on the evidence and legal arguments presented that Mr. Pogba’s ingestion of DHEA, the substance for which he tested positive, was not intentional and was the result of taking a prescribed dietary supplement by a doctor in Florida, who told him that he was treating several high-level American and international athletes, who had knowledge of and were aware of Mr. Pogba’s anti-doping obligations under the World Anti-Doping Code.” Very good news for the player who can therefore fully concentrate on the athlete and the rest of his career.

Because at 31 years old (32 at the end of his suspension in March), the French midfielder has lost a lot of time. Very quickly, his contract situation got people talking. In Italy, Juventus, where he is contracted until 2026, did not wait long before making it clear to the press that they no longer counted on him, on the contrary. La Vella, who has started an ambitious new project with Thiago Motta, wants to quickly part with Paul Pogba who will be able to touch up his XXL salary of 8 million per year (he received 2,000 euros during the suspension). Thus, a breach of contract has been mentioned since January. And inevitably, a free Paul Pogba will interest people.

An offer from Russia

In this sense, his name was quickly mentioned by OM who made some very good moves this summer (Rabiot, Hojberg, Greenwood). But this information was quickly denied, and the Marseille club explained that they had not had any contact at the moment, especially with a fairly well-stocked midfielder. So where will the French international who dreams of playing in the 2026 World Cup go with the rebound of the blues? In today’s edition, France Football gives some indications about his future. In fact, the player has several possibilities, as Europe remains his priority at the moment. MLS, where he had planned to play later in his career, is obviously mentioned, as is Saudi Arabia, which ticks several boxes. The Saudi Pro League would allow the Frenchman to receive a comfortable salary and live in an environment in accordance with his religion without being far from the Blues as Didier Deschamps has already called up N’Golo Kanté.

But all these possibilities are just speculation as explained by the player’s entourage, as Paul Pogba is far from being a top player nowadays. And so it’s difficult to attract clubs at the moment. Finally, France Football explains that the former Manchester United player received a concrete offer in recent weeks, before his ban was reduced. This is the Russian club Broke Boys FC. A club that plays in the Media Football League, a league created in 2022 and not affiliated to FIFA, which brings together celebrities and influencers, and is currently a success in Russia. But the player kindly declined this offer, wanting to concentrate on his return to the highest level. Now we have to see where…
