Former Italy and Serie A defender Federico Balzaretti insists Paul Pogba \u2018deserves a chance\u2019 even if it may not be at Juventus.<\/p>\n

The French midfielder will return to action in March 2025 as his four-year doping ban has been cut to 18 months.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s practically impossible for him to play for Juventus again as the Bianconeri are in talks to terminate his contract.<\/p>\n

In his latest interview with Tuttosport newspaper, ex-Juventus, Palermo and Roma defender Balzaretti admitted it would be \u201chard\u201d to see Pogba wear the Bianconeri shirt again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThiago Motta doesn\u2019t look at the name, and he tends to protect the team,\u201d said the ex-Italy international.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone deserves a second chance. Pogba is a guy who\u2019s had many issues and hasn\u2019t played for a long time. It won\u2019t be easy to return to his levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has great motivations and a big passion, but we must first understand how he feels physically. If Juventus think he\u2019s not useful anymore, he deserves a chance in a strong team elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pogba returned to Juventus on a free transfer from Manchester United in 2022 but has made only 12 competitive appearances since<\/p>\n

He failed a doping test after an away game at Udinese in August 2023. Pogba had not been introduced in that match and spent the entire game on the bench.<\/p>\n

He hasn\u2019t trained with the Juventus\u2019 first team since September 2023, and his contract at the Allianz Stadium runs out in June 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
