Man Utd link-up in Saudi Arabia? Cristiano Ronaldo 'invites' Paul Pogba to join him at Al-Nassr with Juventus career all but over despite doping ban reduction

- WHAT HAPPENED?
  
  The French midfielder saw his doping ban cut short to 18 months from four years, following a successful appeal in the Court of Arbitration for Sport and is slated to return to action in March 2025. However, he might have already played his last game for Juventus as the club director Cristiano Giuntoli recently confirmed that the Bianconeri is no longer interested in the player.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Earlier this month, reports emerged that Pogba could follow Lionel Messi’s footsteps and move to the USA to join a MLS club and now TuttoJuve claims that Ronaldo has reportedly invited the Frenchman to join him at Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr next year. The midfielder shared a dressing room with the Portugal legend for a season at Old Trafford before heading back to the Serie A ahead of the 2022-23 season.

The 31-year-old will be able to resume training from January 2025 before formally returning to football in March. Ahead of his comeback on the pitch, the French star recently made his movie debut as he featured in a film named 4 Zeros.
