IS PAUL POGBA LEAVING JUVENTUS?
After six seasons at Old Trafford, the French midfielder returned to Juventus in June 2022 from Manchester United. With United, Pogba won the EFL Cup and the Europa League in his early seasons, but he was unable to keep his standards in the following seasons.
In 2016, he moved from Juventus to United. The dynamic midfielder also took home the 2018 FIFA World Cup trophy with the France national football team which he plays for.
Since Pogba’s returned to Italy, he has fallen short of expectations, according to his agent who says they disagree a lot. The Frenchman has only played 108 minutes in Serie A this year due to injury, which has kept him out for the majority of the campaign.

His injury woes come at a difficult time for the Old Lady, who are currently eighth in Serie A after being docked 10 points for financial irregularities with their transfer activities.
Following the expiration of his Manchester United contract, Pogba returned to Juventus on a free transfer last summer. However, he has struggled with a string of ailments and was unable to participate in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
He hit the headlines recently after suffering a new injury during his first game of the season earlier in May pushing him to sob uncontrollably as he left the pitch.
Pogba and his agent, Rafaela Pimenta have occasionally clashed, and his lack of discipline sparked rumours that he would leave the team this summer. In the midst of ongoing negotiations over his future Pimenta, disclosed that they fight and make up.
“We have a very profound relationship. We often argue but then make up immediately. It happens all the time. We can tell the truth to each other, and that’s very important. People tend to always side with footballers, so they get mad when somebody says ‘no’ to them. Our agency does that, even though we risk losing clients,” The Mirror reports.
