The French World Cup winner, who has a house in Miami, is set to terminate his contract at Juventus and make a fresh start elsewhere.

Former Manchester United star Pogba can also expect interest from Saudi Arabia.

Despite having property in Miami, Pogba may find it difficult to squeeze into MLS’ only club in the city, Inter Miami.

The David Beckham-owned side boasts a who’s who of former Barcelona stars, with none more recognisable than Lionel Messi.

Messi moved to Inter Miami in 2023 after he left Paris Saint-Germain and is reportedly earning between £35million to £47m a year, with part of his deal tied up in revenue from Apple and Adidas’ separate deals with MLS.

Former Barcelona superstars Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets also call Inter Miami home.

Los Angeles FC boasts Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud in their squad, although the latter is yet to score a league goal since he joined from AC Milan.

Prior to his provisional suspension in September last year for a failed drug test, Pogba featured just 12 times for Juventus in his second stint at the club.

His last game was a 28-minute substitute appearance against Empoli on September 3.

Pogba’s return to Turin came after a six-season spell at Manchester United who signed him from Juventus for a then-world record fee of £89.3 million in August 2016.

The 31-year-old helped the Red Devils win the Europa League and the EFL Cup in his first year back.

However, the French star’s output reduced drastically in his final three terms at the club and led to his eventual release prior to rejoining Juventus
