Paul Pogba Ban: Will Juventus Still Pay Him Despite 4 Year Ban?
Follow Us
After months of trials and tribulations, the verdict is finally out on Paul Pogba. The Juventus star has been slapped with a four-year ban after failing his dope test. In fact, the midfielder has been out of action since the initial weeks of the campaign after he was found guilty of using prohibited substances. The ban is an enormous blow for his side, Juventus, who will undoubtedly feel his absence in the midfield.
Pogba signed with Juventus in 2022, penning a four-year contract. The player is expected to be a part of the Italian club until June 2026, netting a whopping $8.6 million paycheck yearly. However, his doping scandal forced the club to take action in September last year as they reduced his pay to a humble $45000. Notably, clubs are obligated to pay a minimal wage for suspended players under the collective agreement with the Italian Association of Footballers.
However, with the new four-year ban in place, it will be interesting to see if the club continues to pay the player. If the ban remains in place, the club could even terminate their contract with the Frenchman on a mutually agreed pay.

It will be fascinating to see if the Italian Association gives the player a little leeway with their decision. However, as things stand, Juventus is in troubled waters with Pogba’s absence.
