French International Paul Pogba Rejoins Italian Giants Juventus
French International midfielder Paul Pogba has rejoined Juventus on a free transfer, signing a four-year contract six years after leaving to join Manchester United for a world-record transfer fee.
Pogba had been free to negotiate with clubs over his next move since January 2022.
Juventus released a statement after Pogba’s return was confirmed.

“When we say goodbye after an intense adventure shared together, there is always a glimmer of hope that we will see each other again, sooner or later,” Juventus said in a statement.
“With Paul that is exactly what has happened. In 2016 our paths parted after four incredible years. Years in which a talented young French player went from making his First Team debut when still a teenager to scoring his first goal less than a month after making his bow.”
“Paul is back in Turin. He left as a boy and returns as a man and a champion, but there is one thing that has not changed – the desire to write unforgettable pages of club history together once more. Pogba is back and we couldn’t be happier.”
Juventus have also completed the signing of Angel di Maria on a free transfer this summer.
The Argentine winger left Paris Saint-Germain following the expiration of his contract and had been linked with both Juventus and Barcelona.
Di Maria has spent the last seven years at Paris Saint-Germain, where he won 14 major trophies – including five Ligue 1 titles – before leaving the club as a free agent at the start of this month.
