Despite rumors that they were upset by Paul Pogba’s absence from the team, Italian giants Juventus have dismissed any talk of them terminating Pogba’s contract.
Pogba joined Juventus in July but has been sidelined with an injury since the summer. Last week, NewsInFrance reported that the Turin club had grown frustrated with Pogba’s protracted absence from the field.
Fabrizio Romano tweeted, however, that the club have shut down any talk about cutting ties with the 29-year-old.
Juventus deny stories and rumours reporting intention of terminating Paul Pogba’s contract. It’s not even a possibility considered by the club at this stage, as they’re waiting for him. ⚪️⚫️🇫🇷 #Juventus

The midfielder, who returned to Juventus from Manchester United in the summer on a free transfer, is now out with a meniscus injury for which he underwent surgery in August.
Pogba was tipped for a stellar second stint at the club he made 178 appearances for between 2012 and 2016, but the reunion hasn’t gone as many expected it to.
Should the player return to action and slot straight back into the team, fans will hope he can help push them back up the Serie A table towards the European places, after the club were deducted 15 league points in late January for deliberately inflating the value of their players between 2019 and 2021.

The punishment has left The Old Lady 13th in Serie A, loosening their grip on the European places.
With Pogba set to stay at the club, supporters will be eagerly anticipating his return that will see him play in black and white for the first time in seven years.
