The news broke this Thursday early in the afternoon. Accused of doping, Paul Pogba (30 years old) was suspended for 4 years. The Frenchman, who has not yet received official communication, intends to appeal. In the meantime, he cannot get back on track with his career, having not played since September 3 against Empoli. For its part, Juventus can, if the decision is confirmed, terminate Pioche’s contract, which officially ends in 2026.
There Gazzetta dello Sport indicates the Bianconeri, who were not necessarily against parting with Pogba before his affair, could save a large sum if they ever decided to break his lease. Indeed, the player’s salary is estimated at 12 million euros gross per year. He is the highest paid element of Juve. But since his suspension, the people of Turin have paid him a minimum salary of 2,000 euros per month. From there, the GdS calculated how much the Piedmontese risk putting aside, between his reduced salary and his two years of contract that he will not honor (2024-25 and 2025-26). Juventus could therefore save 33 million euros in total. A hell of a lot!
