The salary and market value of Paul Pogba, the French Juventus midfielder who has recently tested positive for testosterone following an anti-doping test.
How much does Paul Pogba earn? This is a very recurring question given that the French midfielder, since his return to Juventus, has so far disappointed expectations by taking to the field slowly due to a long series of muscular issues.
Now, however, Pogba is dealing with problems of a different nature: following an anti-doping test carried out at the end of the match between Udinese and Juventus on August 20th, 2023, the player tested positive for testosterone.
Just when Pogba seemed to glimpse a light at the end of the tunnel by being available again for Mister Allegri, the 1993 midfielder is now at risk of ending his career early: if the positive test is confirmed, he could incur a disqualification of up to 4 years.
Let’s look at Paul Pogba’s salary , his market value, and the story of a career studded with many successes but also with many shadows.
Paul Pogba: career
Born in 1993, Paul Pogba has long been considered one of the best midfielders in the world. He began his adventure in football in the youth team of Manchester United where he played until 2012 before his contract expired.
Many clubs at the time set their sights on the French talent with enormous potential. In the end, it was Juventus who prevailed —for the white-stripe team Paul Pogba experienced one of the best moments of his career.
A great feeling was immediately established with Massimiliano Allegri and Pogba was one of the protagonists in Juventus winning the championships. In his first experience with Juventus, he made 178 appearances and 34 goals.
Faced with an unmissable offer in 2016 he flew to Manchester. He had left England at a very young age and was now returning as a champion. The figures for the operation were substantial: 105 million euros of which 72 and a half actually ended up in the pockets of the Juventus club, and 27 to the prosecutor Mino Raiola. With the Reds Paul Pogba made 233 appearances and 39 goals.
In the summer of 2022, he returned to Juventus as a free agent. However, he has only managed to take the field on twelve occasions and often only for short moments.
Then on September 11th, 2023, the news of his testosterone positivity came, with Pogba now having to carry out counter-analysis to avoid what could be a long disqualification.
During his career Paul Pogba won a World Cup with France, 4 Serie As and 2 Italian Cups with Juventus, and an Europa League with Manchester United.
Pogba’s net worth and market value
Paul Pogba earned a salary of around 15 million euros gross per season during his time at Manchester United. Furthermore, he was also able to count on various sponsorships such as with Adidas and the online shopping portal Wish.
According to the Times, the Frenchman has a net worth of over 50 million euros and is considered one of the richest footballers currently active.
Upon his return to Juventus as a free agent, Paul Pogba signed a contract until 2026 worth 8 million net per season. The Bianconeri have suspended his salary with the player who will receive the union minimum wage of around 2,000 euros per month. In case of conviction, the contract could be terminated.
