Pogba returned to Juve in 2022, but managed just eight Serie A appearances as injury ravaged his first season back before he was given a four-year doping ban, which has since been reduced to 18 months.
The 31-year-old is allowed to return to training in January and can play again in March, and he penned a message to the Bianconeri fans as he closes one chapter of his career and prepares to open another.
WHAT POGBA SAID
"There are moments when things don’t go the way we want, but one thing is certain: the bond I have with you, dear fans, will remain unforgettable," he wrote on Instagram. "You have given me so much, more than I can put into words, and I will always carry with me all the affection you gave me. You'll be in my heart, aways."

Pogba, who scored 34 goals in 190 appearances over his two spells at Juventus, had been linked with a move to Marseille, though reports in France say no contact has been made between the two parties.
