Bruno Fernandes has shown his support for former Manchester United teammate Paul Pogba after news broke of the termination of Pogba’s contract with Juventus.
This comes after a period of discussions between the two parties, which concluded last week.
Pogba’s Juventus Exit and Career Recovery
Paul Pogba’s exit from Juventus follows a rocky year.
After facing a doping ban for elevated testosterone levels, his four-year suspension was reduced to 18 months in October by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
This opens the door for him to return to play in January.
Pogba had originally been suspended by Italy’s national anti-doping tribunal (Nado) on September 11, 2023, after a random drug test.
At the time, Pogba’s Juventus contract was set to last until June 2026, following his return to the club from Manchester United in the summer of 2022.
However, with his departure from Juventus confirmed, he now finds himself searching for a new club.
Pogba’s Heartfelt Instagram Message to Juventus Fans
Pogba took to Instagram to express his gratitude towards Juventus and their supporters.
He acknowledged the challenges but also emphasized the lasting bond he shares with the club’s fans.
“There are times when things don’t go the way we want,” he wrote, “but one thing is certain: the bond I have with you, dear fans, will remain unforgettable.”
He ended the message with heartfelt thanks, saying, “You will always be in my heart. Good luck @Juventus.”
His message quickly gained attention from both fans and former teammates, including several Manchester United stars who sent words of encouragement as Pogba looks ahead to the next chapter in his career.
Bruno Fernandes Pays Tribute to Pogba
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United’s current captain, was one of the first to offer support.
Having played alongside Pogba for over two years, Fernandes shared a touching tribute on social media.
“Phenomenon as a player but even more phenomenal as a person you are,” he wrote, accompanied by a red heart emoji, highlighting not only Pogba’s talent on the field but his character as well.
Juventus Confirms Pogba’s Departure
Juventus officially announced the end of their relationship with Pogba in a statement.
“Juventus Football Club and Paul Pogba announce that they have reached a mutual agreement for the termination of their contract as of 30 November, 2024,” the club confirmed, wishing Pogba all the best for his future endeavors.
What’s Next for Paul Pogba?
Pogba’s time at Juventus was plagued by injuries, and he only made four appearances after rejoining the club.
Following the suspension, he now faces the challenge of regaining regular playing time.
There are rumors that a number of clubs across Europe, the Middle East, and even the MLS are considering offering him a contract as he prepares for the next phase of his career.
