Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli has confirmed that the club will terminate Paul Pogba’s contract.

According to Giuntoli, Pogba is now surplus to requirement in the team.

He said: “Pogba was a great player but we have different plans now. We’ve invested in different players and our team is now complete.”

Pogba’s second stint with the Italian giants will end, despite his initial four-year doping ban being reduced by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, CAS, to just 18 months.

This means the 31-year-old can restart training in January and will be playing competitive football again in March.

But Pogba is likely to continue his career away from Juventus, despite his current deal set to expire in June 2026.

In other news, Kylian Mbappé has vowed to take legal action for libel over the Swedish rape investigation which his name was linked to as his lawyer revealed on Friday.

The France captain, however, is “at ease” because “he has done nothing wrong”, lawyer Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard said.

A Swedish prosecutor said Tuesday that a rape investigation had been opened without mentioning Mbappé, following media reports that the Real Madrid and France star was the suspect following a visit with friends to Stockholm.

Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen, and public broadcaster SVT all reported that 25-year-old Mbappé was the target of the investigation, following his two-day visit to the Nordic capital last week.

Mbappé’s lawyer Canu-Bernard said the player was “not aware of the extent of the media frenzy, but is completely calm and does not understand what he could be accused of”.

“He is stunned to hear that it could concern him. He preferred to go to training and asked my office not to leave things as they are because it is impossible to let yourself be slandered and defamed in this way.

“This is the reason why we are going to file a complaint for libel.”

The lawyer said she could neither confirm nor deny claims in Swedish media that Mbappé was the suspect.
