Pogba is currently serving a four-year doping ban, though his legal team are busily putting together an appeal against the ban. Yesterday, Guardian Nigeria released excerpts from an interview where Pogba was quoted stating, “It’s over. Paul Pogba no longer exists”.
However, these comments were taken from an Al Jazeera interview two years ago, before the ban, and Pogba has since taken to social media to assure his fans.
The former Manchester United midfielder posted: “Old sarcastic comments have been misleadingly described as authentic and recent to generate clicks.
“I’m still alive guys, don’t worry.”
Argentine media sources say United are considering meeting Dybala’s cut-price €12m buyout clause, which comes into effect for the entire month of July. IL Message says Roma are aware of United’s interest and are anxiously trying to renew Dybala’s deal and write out his escape option in the coming days.

Dybala wants €6.5m-a-year to leave the Giallorossi, which has been a concern for interested clubs, though comes within range of United’s budget.
The defender has been heavily involved in the Three Lions’ Euro 2024 campaign so far.
His wife Charlotte posted on Instagram: “Sooner or later you get over the s*** you swore you’d never get over and it’s the best feeling in the world.”
She then followed that up with the words: “The sun is shining. Happy Monday angels.”
