Paul Pogba's Cryptic Message: 'Agreement Done'
Paul Pogba, the French midfielder, has announced his departure from Juventus through a cryptic social media post stating, 'Agreement done.' This follows a mutual contract termination amid his doping suspension.
French midfielder Paul Pogba has parted ways with Juventus after a mutual agreement to terminate his contract, effective November 30, 2024. Pogba, who had a contract until June 2026, is currently serving a doping suspension that prevents him from playing until March 2025. The termination was confirmed by Juventus in a brief statement wishing him well in his professional future.
Following the announcement, Pogba shared a cryptic message on social media stating, 'Agreement done.' He also expressed gratitude towards Juventus fans, saying, 'There are moments when things don’t go the way we want, but one thing is certain: the bond I have with you, dear fans, will remain unforgettable.' He added, 'You have given me so much, more than I can put into words, and I will always carry with me all the affection you gave me.' Pogba concluded with, 'You’ll be in my heart, always. Good luck @juventus.'
Pogba's departure comes after a challenging period marked by a doping ban, which was initially set at four years but later reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. This reduction allows him to resume training in January 2025 and return to competitive play by March. Despite his willingness to take a wage cut to remain with Juventus, the club decided to proceed with the contract termination.
As a free agent, Pogba has been linked with potential moves to the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer. His next destination remains uncertain, but his recent messages suggest he is preparing for a new chapter in his career.
