Paul Pogba breaks silence on future after Juventus star prepares to make comeback after doping ban is cut

Serie A

AC Milan

Juventus

<p>The midfielder will be able to get back on the field in March after seeing his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/paul-pogba-juventus-midfielder-doping-ban-reduced-following-appeal/blt5e2f1cac38c2d0c4" target="_blank">doping ban reduced to 18 months from four years</a>. There have been reports he may leave Juventus before that time comes, though, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/paul-pogba-advanced-discussions-marseille-january-transfer-former-man-utd-star-mason-greenwood-ligue-1/blta34c7f11fb66d43b" target="_blank">Marseille said to be in talks to sign him in January</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Former France and Marseille star Patrice Evra has given his backing to Pogba joining the Ligue 1 team and said he would contact sporting director Medhi Benatia to encourage him to pursue a deal. He said: "He wants to play football, wherever it is, for example why not OM? I'm going to call Benatia and tell him that the door is open."</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Pogba has laughed off the ex-Manchester United player's comments, but did not rule out a transfer. He told <a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/-l-om-tonton-pat-evra-dit-ca-en-rigolant-paul-pogba-parle-de-son-avenir-en-marge-de-la-promo-de-quatre-zeros/1513809" target="_blank"><em>L'Equipe</em></a>: "I laugh because he's Uncle Pat ,  he said it jokingly.  I'm still under contract so it's not credible. The possibility of coming to play in Ligue 1? I'm at a club, I'm just thinking about coming back and getting out of this situation. Of course, you never know what tomorrow will bring, so never say never."</p><p>Asked about his reaction to heaving his ban reduced, the France international said: "I was really happy. I hadn't done anything, why would they give me four years? I'll be able to go back to doing what I love the most. It's like I've been given another chance. I've been given back something that had been taken away from me. It's a new lease on life. March is tomorrow, it'll come quickly. And it's something I can't wait to do."</p>

WHAT POGBA SAID

<p>Pogba can resume training with the Serie A side before he is clear to play again in March. The Bianconeri have had a mixed start to the season, winning three and drawing four of their seven matches in the top-flight. They sit three points behind leaders Napoli.</p>
