Paul Pogba has decided on the leading candidate for the next destination.
France's MaxiFoot reported on the 15th (Korean time) 'Pogba has selected candidates for future destinations'
MaxiFoot said 'Pogba could return to the stadium after March. He has reduced his disciplinary action to a year and a half through an appeal and plans to play again from next season. He continues to train his physical strength in Miami, USA, and is trying to play fully. No club has offered him a contract yet, but there is a good chance he will receive an offer this summer.'
According to the news, Pogba is prioritizing League 1, La Liga, and Bundesliga. He hasn't played in three leagues yet. However, it has not closed the doors to the U.S. Major League Soccer and Saudi Arabia's professional leagues. Karim Benzema is persuading Pogba to join RT Hard. It is not a priority, but it is not excluded because Saudi transfer is also constantly being considered.

Pogba, who was one of France's best midfielders with excellent skills during his time at Juventus in the past, has suffered a difficult time since returning to Manchester United and has begun to decline his career. He returned to Juventus after the expiration of his contract with Manchester United in 2022, but the old Pogbanne was difficult to kick. Continued injuries, starting with knee meniscus injuries, have hampered him, rarely showing his old self.
Public opinion about Pogba has bottomed out as the doping problem has erupted. In September 2023, Juventus officially announced the news of doping disciplinary action. The drug detected was testosterone. It is an anabolic steroid banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, which is of course taboo in professional sports. The Italian Anti-Doping Commission (NADO Italy) has withdrawn its four-year suspension.
An appeal was filed against the unfairness. In an appeal conducted through the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), Pogba shortened the disciplinary period from four years to 18 months, and was allowed to play official games from March 2025. Although the disciplinary action has already been virtually lifted, Pogba has yet to find a new team.

Saudi Arabia, which has already been mentioned several times as a leading destination, seems to be considered along with Benzema's proposal. In the case of MLS, it was reported that Lionel Messi requested Inter Miami to recruit Pogba.
However, Pogba's priority is still the top five European leagues. Instead of the English Premier League (EPL) and Serie A experienced by Manchester United and Juventus, it seems that they want to challenge in other leagues. Jesse Lingard, who was once a teammate of Manchester United, said he would dominate the possibility of Pogba's transfer to the K-League, but it will be difficult to go to the K-League right away.
Along with Pogba's concerns, the candidates for his leading destinations were listed. Attention is also focusing on which club will hold Pogba's hand and help him return this summer.
