Paul Pogba will leave Juventus on November 30 after agreeing to the mutual termination of his contract.
The 31-year-old received a four-year ban in February for a doping offence, but that ban was reduced to 18 months in October, from his initial provisional suspension in September 2023.
Sources close to Pogba told BBC Sport that he can resume training in January and will be able to play again from March.
The French midfielder will now be able to join a new club in the January transfer window.
“The club wishes Paul the best for his professional future,” Juventus said.
Pogba said: “It has been a privilege to wear the Bianconeri shirt and share so many special moments together.
“I cherish the memories we made. They are still alive.
“Even in the most difficult times last year, your support was crucial and I want to thank Juve fans around the world for their compassion.
“I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my career and getting out on the field with my next club.”
Before the ban, Pogba was earning £6.9m a year at the Italian club with a contract running until June 2026.
Juventus were thought to have reduced his salary to around £2,000 a month, as part of a collective agreement between the clubs and the players’ union.
Pogba hasn’t played much football in recent years. He managed just 162 minutes in five appearances during the 2022-23 season, and played a total of 51 minutes as a substitute last season before his suspension.
The reduction of the sanction (and now his departure from Juventus) gives him the opportunity to restart his career next year.
Pogba started out at Manchester United before moving to Juventus, where he won Serie A in each of his first four seasons, including two Doubles.
He then returned to Old Trafford for a world record £89million in 2016, and in his first season won the Europa League and FA Cup.
Pogba, who has 91 caps for France, then helped Les Bleus to glory at the 2018 World Cup, scoring in the final as they beat Croatia 4-2 in Russia.
Injuries and lack of form disrupted his final three seasons at Manchester United, and he failed to excel on his free agent return to Juve.
