French midfielder Paul Pogba disclosed that he turned down a potential move to Manchester City, favoring Juventus instead during the last transfer window. Speaking with *Gazzetta*, Pogba confirmed the story, originally shared by football journalist Fabrizio Romano on X, saying, “Yes, I turned down Pep Guardiola’s approach to accept the Juventus proposal. That story is true.”
Despite having various offers on the table, Pogba reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to Juventus, dismissing any possibility of joining their Serie A rivals, AC Milan. Even a call from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who serves as a senior advisor for Milan, wouldn’t sway his decision. “Will I join AC Milan? Impossible. Even if Ibrahimović calls me, he knows I won’t betray Juve,” Pogba told *Sky Sport*. “I do not see myself with any other jersey. My focus is on getting back into the Juve shirt.”
After a turbulent period that saw him suspended from football due to doping violations, Pogba will be eligible to play again starting January 2025. His initial four-year ban was reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sports. While rumors swirl about Juventus possibly terminating his contract, Pogba has already been linked with other clubs, including Marseille. Nonetheless, he remains committed to wearing the black-and-white stripes of Juve once more, eager to make his comeback.
