French footballer Paul Pogba 18-months ban from football officially ended on Tuesday. The 31-year-old midfielder is exploring options with MLS side Inter Miami and Saudi club Al-Shabab as top contenders. Marseille is also a possible European destination, while rumors of a Manchester United return have been dismissed.
While Paul awaits to take his time to choose his next club he is not likely to sign anywhere until the end of the season. After three years without a full match, Pogba’s next move will determine the future of his career.
The midfielder, who turns 32 on Saturday, was initially handed a four-year suspension after he tested positive for DHEA, a banned substance. It was later reduced to eighteen months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after an appeal.
That ban came to an end on Tuesday. The 2018 World Cup winner can now train and play competitive matches. His last game was a 29-minute cameo for Juventus in September 2023. The last time he played a full 90 minutes was three years ago with Manchester United in March 2022.
Pobga has spent his exile training on his own with a personal trainer and taking part in pick up matches in Miami, where he has been living with his family and will continue to do so as he waits until the end of the season to decide his future.
