Juventus midfielder, Paul Pogba, is reportedly in advanced discussions with Olympique Marseille for a potential transfer move that has caught many by surprise.
According to respected journalist Malick Traore, via Goal, both Pogba and Marseille have been in talks for several weeks, with the possibility of Pogba joining the French Ligue 1 side by January 2025, once he is cleared to resume training.
This development follows the recent decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to reduce Pogba’s initial four-year ban, imposed after testing positive for testosterone, to 18 months.
Despite the reduction, Paul Pogba may never feature for Juventus again, with reports suggesting that the club and the player are set to mutually terminate his contract.

Olympique Marseille Is Eyeing Paul Pogba
The 30-year-old Frenchman, who will be eligible to play again in March 2025, is now considering his next move, and a return to France with Marseille could be on the cards.
This potential transfer would mark a significant shift in Pogba’s career, as he seeks to rebuild his football journey away from the spotlight of his doping ban.
If his contract with Juventus is terminated, Pogba will become a free agent, allowing him to freely explore new opportunities as he looks ahead to the next chapter of his career.
