Paul Pogba's Focus on European Return Amid D.C. United Talks

Despite ongoing negotiations with D.C. United, sources confirm that Paul Pogba's main objective is to secure a move back to Europe. The 32-year-old midfielder, currently a free agent, is carefully considering his next career move.

MLS Interest and European Aspirations

Pogba's affiliation with D.C. United due to discovery rights has sparked discussions, but he is in no rush to make a decision. While the midfielder acknowledges the MLS interest, his heart is set on reuniting with a European club.

Having been without a team since his Juventus contract termination in November, Pogba has attracted attention from various MLS teams beyond D.C. United. However, any potential move within the MLS would involve a fee due to his current status.

Champions League Ambitions and World Cup Hopes

The World Cup winner is determined to showcase his skills at a Champions League level, aiming for a national team recall for the 2026 World Cup. Pogba believes a return to a top European club would enhance his chances of representing France once again.

Despite considering offers from European leagues and the MLS, including D.C. United, Pogba's primary goal remains a European comeback.

Previous Challenges and Training Regimen

Pogba overcame a ban for testing positive for a banned substance, with his suspension ending in March 2025. The midfielder has trained rigorously with a personal trainer and engaged in local matches in Miami while evaluating his future options.
