UEFA Champions League
The Juventus of Turin is facing a complex situation with Paul Pogba, their star midfielder, after he was suspended for doping. Despite the player being banned for four years, the club has not been able to terminate his contract. This is because Pogba has lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to overturn the sanction. While awaiting the resolution of this ongoing process, Juventus remains bound by the agreement signed with the Frenchman in 2022, which is valid until 2026.
Everything hinges on the appeal filed by the Frenchman
Although Pogba is no longer part of the coach's plans, Juventus has not been able to conclude the deal immediately. The termination of the contract for just cause can only be executed if the player's appeal fails. In the meantime, the Turin club has drastically reduced the player's salary, taking advantage of Italian tax laws and ensuring that the Frenchman receives the minimum stipulated by federal regulations; he has gone from earning over 8 million euros per year to 2,000 euros per month, as reported by 'Calciomercato'.
If the CAS ruling favors the player, the contractual situation could take an unexpected turn. However, if the sanction is upheld, all signs point to Juventus proceeding with the disengagement of Pogba, definitively closing a chapter that has caused significant difficulties for both the club and the player.
