In a post shared by football insider Fabrizio Romano on X, Pogba confirmed, “Yes, I turned down Pep Guardiola’s approach to accept the Juventus proposal. That story is true,” he told Gazzetta.
The World Cup winner also ruled out any possibility of joining Juventus’s Serie A rivals, AC Milan, stating that even if Zlatan Ibrahimović—AC Milan’s senior advisor—reaches out, he wouldn’t betray Juventus.
Pogba’s future remains in question as he awaits his return to football. After his four-year doping ban was reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Pogba will be eligible to play again in January next year.
Reports suggest ongoing discussions between Juventus and Pogba regarding a potential contract termination, with the player being linked to European clubs like Marseille. Despite the speculation, Pogba has maintained his loyalty to Juventus.
“Will I join AC Milan? Impossible. Even if Ibrahimović calls me, he knows I won’t betray Juve,” Pogba told Sky Sport. “My focus is on getting back into the Juve shirt.”
