French midfielder Paul Pogba said he would be ready to give up money to play for Juventus in a bid to revive his career.
Pogba who had four years doping ban reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) would be back in March 2025.
“It will be a new Pogba: hungrier, wiser and stronger,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I trained alone with staff this year and am ready to get back to normality in 2025. I have only one desire: to play football.
“The love of the fans was never lacking. I couldn’t have contact with the Juve players due to legal issues, but many teammates past and present showed support. Juan Cuadrado called every two days and made me laugh. Dybala sent a lot of messages, then Vlahovic, McKennie, Weah, Kean…”
Juventus coach Thiago Motta has made it clear that Pogba is not in his plan for the season, but the World Cup winner said he would pay to play for the club.
“I am focusing on getting ready and playing with Juve. I am currently a Juve player and that is all I have in my mind today.
“I do my talking on the pitch and then Thiago Motta can judge with his own eyes, based on what he sees. Talk is nice, but I want to play for Juve and to be the best for France too.”
“I am ready to give up money to play for Juve. I want to return.”
