<p>Following a doping ban, which <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/paul-pogba-juventus-midfielder-doping-ban-reduced-following-appeal/blt5e2f1cac38c2d0c4" target="_blank">has now been reduced</a>, the French midfielder can return to training in January 2025 and officially rejoin the game by March. However, his contract termination with Juventus has left him without a club, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/paul-pogba-juventus-over-french-midfielder-free-agent-contract-termination-heads-miami-train-next-move/blt236ed8ce0c70635c" target="_blank">forcing him to evaluate his future</a> options. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Rami, Pogba’s former team-mate and a 2018 World Cup winner, has publicly called on the 31-year-old to join Marseille. The former defender believes that the French club could provide Pogba with the perfect platform to rebuild his career and silence his critics.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>During a live Twitch session, Rami took the opportunity to send Pogba a voice message expressing his excitement over the possibility of the French midfielder signing at the Stade Velodrome.</p><p>"Pogba! The great player! How are you, bro?" he began.</p><p>"Rumors say you're going to Olympique de Marseille. If it's true, I'm very happy, this team needs a little more character. If it happens, bro, I'll arrive in Marseille with three, four or five jerseys that you'll sign for me, including one for my Twitch community and my subscribers. I would be so happy to see you at OM. Keep me posted and we'll catch up. If you need anything, you're my soldier. Marseille is a very, very, very good choice. I wish that for you and I wish that for them. I won't bother you too much because transfer periods are sh*t."</p><p></p>

WHAT RAMI SAID

<p>At 31, Pogba faces a pivotal moment in his footballing journey. After a stellar first stint at Juventus that earned him international recognition, his form has waned in recent years due to injuries and inconsistent performances. While some clubs may see him as a gamble worth taking, others might be hesitant given his recent struggles. For Marseille, signing him could be a calculated risk with potentially high rewards. </p>
