Paul Pogba’s future at Juventus appears increasingly uncertain following his recent unauthorized interviews. The French midfielder’s actions have further strained his relationship with the club, potentially strengthening the case for a unilateral contract termination.
La Gazzetta dello Sport report that despite Pogba’s expressed desire to return to Juventus, the club’s stance remains unchanged. The player’s independent decision to conduct interviews without the club’s approval has once again breached the expected conduct for a Juventus player. This latest incident follows a pattern of autonomous choices by Pogba that have caused embarrassment and damage to the club’s image.
Juventus’ new project under manager Thiago Motta does not seem to include Pogba. The coach has already shown willingness to exclude established players to create new team dynamics, and he has indicated that Pogba is not part of his plans.
The original intention of bringing Pogba back to Turin in 2022 was for him to be a role model for younger players. However, recent events have made it difficult to consider him an exemplary figure within the club.
Pogba’s approach to the situation appears confrontational rather than conciliatory. He continues to present his perspective without considering the club’s position, which has often differed significantly from his own.
The club could potentially terminate Pogba’s contract unilaterally based on his doping suspension. While Juventus has previously preferred dialogue out of respect for Pogba’s history with the club, the accumulation of issues – including image damage, technical setbacks, and commercial losses – may lead to a more pragmatic approach.
As the situation unfolds, it seems increasingly likely that Juventus and Pogba will part ways, with the club seeking a respectful but definitive separation.
