Paul Pogba has reportedly had to live on a ‘minimum wage’ at Juventus since being slapped with a four year doping ban that has now been reduced.
Mail Sport exclusively revealed on Friday that the French midfielder has had his initial four year drugs ban slashed to just 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Pogba was initially facing a likely retirement had the ban been upheld after he tested positive in August 2023 for DHEA which boosts testosterone and is on WADA’s banned list.
However, the decision to reduce his ban means Pogba can now resume training with Juventus in January and will be able to play his first competitive fixture as of March 2025.
His career revival will also see the former Manchester United star return to the mega salary that he was handed by Juventus when he signed a four-year contract at the club.
Since being banned, Pogba has seen his pay package cut to ‘minimum wage’ that will now receive a welcome boost to put him amongst Serie A’s top earners, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.
It is believed that the 31-year-old has been living off a £1700-per-month salary instead of the usual riches that comes with being one of the sport’s biggest stars.
