Paul Pogba and Juventus agree to terminate contract
Paul Pogba and Juventus have mutually agreed to part ways as the French midfielder faces an 18-month ban from football.
Juventus forward Paulo Dybala has been recalled to Argentina’s national squad for the first time in almost two years for 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela, Brazil and Bolivia.
The 27-year-old forms part of an attack that also includes Lionel Messi, Lautaro Martinez, Angel Di Maria and Angel Correa, the Argentine Football Association said on Monday.
Dybala has not played for the Albiceleste since their 2-2 draw with Uruguay in a friendly in Tel Aviv in November 2019, reports Xinhua.
