Embattled French professional player, Paul Pogba, has cleared the air on speculations about his contract with Serie A side, Juventus.
Responding to a series of speculation concerning his football career recently, Pogba dismissed claims that he might retire despite receiving a four-year ban for doping.
Sportxparte understands that the 31-year-old former Manchester United player has been out of action since August 2023 and has appealed his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).
Pogba is seeking to have his suspension shortened to a two-year ban.
Earlier this year, the Frenchman was banned after testing positive for doping on two occasions (first the A sample and then the B sample).
“I want to fight this, for me, injustice. An interview has come out, I don’t know if you’ve seen it all, they put something that … I hadn’t finished talking,” Pogba told Sky Italia in a recent interview.
He added: “Pogba isn’t finished, Pogba is here, and until you see me say that I’m finished, don’t worry. I have an incredible desire to come back, I feel like a child who wants to be professional. I train, I do everything I can to get back on the pitch.
“The latest news is I’m still a Juve player, I have the contract, but I haven’t had the opportunity to speak to the director and coach … there’s silence. I think they’re waiting for the outcome of the appeal, but you have to ask them.”
