Paul Pogba, the French midfielder for Juve, tested positive for testosterone in August 2023, and suspended since September 11. The 30-year-old midfielder, world champion in 2018 with the Blues, received the maximum penalty according to the World Anti-Doping Code.

The midfielder, who turns 31 on March 15, can appeal this sanction. Juventus, with which he is linked until the summer of 2026, can now terminate their contract, due to this suspension, in particular in order to save on salary.
