While his suspension was cut by some two-and-a-half years, he parted ways with his club Juventus shortly after the news broke of his impending comeback, rendering him a free agent. As such, there have been a number of clubs linked with one of the most technically gifted midfielders of his generation.

Corinthians in Brazil have been linked in what would be a surprise move, while Manchester City - more surprising still - have also been connected by some reports. However, Marseille have consistently been linked with Pogba's services, with former France team-mate Dimitri Payet personally endorsing a move to the Ligue 1 title contenders.
