The Pickaxe is back!
This is the big news of the moment! As you know, Pogba was suspended for 4 years for doping. Well the Daily Mail dropped a real bombshell yesterday by announcing that the Frenchman’s sanction will be reduced to 18 months. La Pioche could therefore return to training with Juventus next January and resume competition in March, rejoices The Team ! This is obviously great news for the player and for French football. A little less visibly on the side of Juventus who, contrary to what one might have expected, are not jumping for joy. As reported La Gazetta dello SportJuve did not at all expect their player to return so quickly. The Old Lady has started a new cycle without him and the Frenchman does not figure in Thiago Motta’s plans. With the end of his suspension, Pogba will officially recover his insane salary of 11 million per year. The latter only received 2,000 euros per month, the minimum salary required by the collective agreement. Beyond the salary aspect, we imagine that the main thing for the 31-year-old player is to be able to play football again. Pogba sees the end of the tunnel, writes with relief The Parisian. For all football lovers, the comeback of the Pioche is really good news!
Joan Laporta’s dream flies away
For the inauguration of the new Spotify Camp Nou, Joan Laporta dreams of recruiting a star. If the name of Neymar came out in the Catalan press, the crazy dream of the president of Barça is called Erling Haaland. Well bad news as the newspaper reports Sport in its interior pages. The Norwegian wants to extend the adventure with Manchester City. The striker and his entourage are currently negotiating a contract extension with the English club which goes beyond his contract until 2027. The possible sanction against City by the Premier League could play a role, but Haaland seems determined to stay. Haaland wants to maintain a termination clause that is not astronomical for clubs outside the Premier League. He keeps in mind the idea of one day playing in Spain, a championship that he particularly appreciates.
Erik ten Hag in total confusion
With only 3 victories in 6 Premier League days, Manchester United are in a worrying 13th place. Despite a new spending transfer window, the Red Devils still cannot do it. For many, Ten Hag must be sacked. But as the placard Manchester Evening Newsthis decision does not belong to the owner Sir Jim Rattclife. Asked about the future of the Dutch coach, the British billionaire preferred to dodge. An outing relayed by the Daily Mirror or even the Daily Star who compares this exit to a “cliffe hanger”. Understanding here literally that ten Hag’s future hangs on the edge of the cliff. Which sums up his situation quite well!
