La Gazzetta dello Sport analyses the financial implications of Paul Pogba’s return to Juventus estimating that the Frenchman has cost the Old Lady almost €230.000 per minute played.
The France international has suffered a new muscle injury, forcing him to the sidelines for at least one more month.
Pogba returned to the Allianz Stadium as a free agent last summer but has only made two appearances as a substitute this season.
Overall, Pogba has played 35 minutes, missing 34 matches. Considering his €8m-a-year contract, Gazzetta estimates that Juventus have paid him almost €230.000 per minute so far in 2022-23, exactly €228571.
The 29-year-old looked distraught after his medical examinations on Monday and even refused to sign autographs for Juventus fans, saying “Sorry, my head’s not in it.”
His contract at the Allianz Stadium expires in June 2026.
Karma is real.
