Paul Pogba is still without a team, but not without options. The French midfielder, world champion in 2018, wants to return to elite soccer and is physically preparing to achieve it.

After the Doping Sanction, Pogba Doesn't Give Up. He is 31 years old and wants to return next season.

His entourage is already working to find a destination. According to Florian Plettenberg, he is considering offers from several leagues: Bundesliga, Ligue 1, MLS, Saudi Arabia... and also LaLiga.

Pogba, New Rival for Real Madrid?

Among the Scenarios That Most Attract Pogba Is Spain. The player is open to signing with a LaLiga club to relaunch his career.

That means that, if it materializes, he will be a direct rival of Real Madrid. And that has a special flavor, because the white club was close to signing him in the past.

When Pogba dazzled at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Zinedine Zidane Requested Him as a Priority. He wanted a physical midfielder, with presence and talent.

Pogba met all of that. But Florentino Pérez wasn't convinced. The high cost of the signing, along with his salary and media profile, made the club rule out his arrival.

Finally, Pogba renewed with Manchester United. But he never excelled at the same level again.

Returns Eager to Show

After a long period off the field, Pogba is training on his own. His goal is to return in top form for the 2025 season.

This time he is not just looking for glamour. He wants minutes, stability, and a team that allows him to regain his form.

That's why, a Competitive Project in LaLiga Could Convince Him. Several clubs have already inquired about his situation.

Pogba Would Arrive as a Free Agent. His experience, his physique, and his past in big clubs are strong arguments.

If he signs with a Spanish team, his path will cross with Real Madrid. Although Florentino rejected him, fate could bring him back to LaLiga... as a rival.

We will have to stay tuned. Pogba wants to return. LaLiga is a very real possibility.
