Paul Pogba is preparing for his return to football in March after his doping ban was reduced to 18 months. Following his separation from Juventus, the French midfielder is being linked with several top clubs interested in acquiring him on a free transfer. Over the weekend, rumours of a potential move to Manchester City under Pep Guardiola surfaced, though these were quickly dismissed by English sources.

Training with Galatasaray

According to Turkish outlet Sabah, as reported by Fotomaç, Pogba has expressed interest in training with Galatasaray. Through his agents, the 31-year-old has reportedly requested an opportunity to join training sessions with the Turkish champions, alongside players like Dries Mertens, as they compete in the Super Lig and Europa League.

Although Pogba cannot participate in official matches until March 2025, he is seeking a professional environment to regain fitness. Training with Galatasaray could be an ideal setup as he prepares for a comeback.

Marseille and Other Suitors

Olympique Marseille remains a possible destination for Pogba, with the French club reportedly monitoring his situation. Despite his prolonged absence, several clubs view Pogba as a potential high-reward signing, aiming to help him recover his form and return to the level of a world-class midfielder.

Weekend Rumours: Manchester City Denial

Over the weekend, European media suggested Manchester City were interested in signing Pogba, with Guardiola allegedly seeking an experienced midfielder to strengthen his squad. Pogba, despite differing from Rodri in style, was speculated as a short-term solution during the Spaniard’s absence. However, English sources have since denied these reports, cooling speculation about a move to the Etihad.

What’s Next?

Pogba is expected to resume training in January, as he evaluates his next move. While questions remain about his physical condition and long-term reliability, there’s no doubt that his talent and experience continue to attract interest. Whether it’s Galatasaray, Marseille, or another club willing to take a calculated risk, Pogba’s comeback will be one of the most closely watched stories in football.
