Paul Pogba has assured fans that he remains “a Juventus player” despite facing a four-year doping ban, which he is currently appealing.
The France international failed a doping test during a Serie A match on August 20, 2023, and his explanation for the presence of the banned substance was deemed insufficient.
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia after France’s 1-0 win over Belgium in the Euro 2024 Round of 16, Pogba reiterated his commitment to football and expressed gratitude for the support he received.
“I am very happy to see and feel the love of the people. I have not been on the pitch for a while, so hearing the people sing my name was really pleasing,” Pogba said.
Regarding retirement from football, the midfielder clarified, “If you don’t see a video where I say that I am stopping with football, it’s because I am still a football player.”
“I am still here, still positive, and have an opportunity to fight what, in my view, is an injustice. We’ll see; things will get better,” he added.
