Italian club Juventus and Paul Pogba announced on Friday that they have mutually agreed to terminate the midfielder's contract on Nov. 30.

The 31-year-old had a deal with the Serie A club until June 2026 but is banned from playing until March next year after testing positive for DHEA, which boosts testosterone levels, in September 2023.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport cut the 31-year-old's ban earlier this month after he was provisionally suspended by Italy's National Anti-Doping Agency (NADO Italia) in September 2023 following a positive test for DHEA, a banned substance that boosts testosterone levels.

Juventus pulled off a dramatic comeback vs. RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday to win 3-2 despite being a player down. The club’s winning goal came after a brilliant Weston McKennie tackle on Leipzig star Xavi Simons.

In the closing minutes of the game Leipzig looked to have a dangerous counterattack on their hands with Simons leading the charge. McKennie, who had played the entire game, tracked him down and put in a perfect tackle to stop the attack.

Juventus would the go on to score the game winning goal with the possession that McKennie won back.

U.S. midfielder Weston McKennie scored his first goal for Juventus in 693 days as he struck in their Champions League opener vs. PSV on Tuesday.

Tuesday’s game was a surprise start for the American as he had only featured in one of Juve’s previous four games, starting none of them.

In the 27th minute McKennie was poaching in front of the PSV goal and made no mistake when given the opportunity from close range.

We have good news and bad news United States men’s national team fans. The good news is that we have an amazing Tim Weah goal vs Como goal to watch. The bad news is that he scored the goal with a hamstring injury that will see him miss time.

Juventus opened their new campaign with a 3-0 victory against newly promoted Como 1907 on Monday. USMNT forward Weah was given the start at right wing. 

Last season Weah was used in a more defensive wingback position. He proved his worth as a forward with a beautiful goal in first half stoppage time to extend his side’s lead to 2-0.
