Reports in France are growing that Olympique Marseille have held talks with Paul Pogba’s entourage, as he is expected to terminate his Juventus contract.

The midfielder is still out of action following the ban for failing a doping test, which was reduced on appeal from four years to just 18 months.

It means he would be able to return to training from January and be back on the field in competitive matches in March.

According to La Provence and le10sport in France, there have been initial talks between Pogba’s entourage and Olympique Marseille.

He would be a valuable addition to the squad under coach Roberto De Zerbi.

Juventus have made it fairly clear they consider Pogba to be a spent force after two years on the sidelines between doping tests and injuries.

He is expected to terminate his contract by mutual consent over the next few weeks.

Other alternatives for the former Manchester United midfielder in the future are clubs in Major League Soccer.
