Both Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad have expressed keen interest in acquiring the services of the 30-year-old French midfielder. Despite a series of unfortunate injuries that marred his return to Turin last season, Pogba seems determined to soldier on. His recent appearance as a substitute in the club’s 1-1 draw with Bologna marked his comeback to the Juventus lineup after an absence of three months. However, the possibility of a move to Saudi Arabia still lingers, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.
