Indeed, when looking at the previous situation this will be difficult but I don't think it's wrong to try especially for now Juventus are quite energetic under Motta so it is possible that he can maximize the talents that Pogba is missing. But in this case of course we also have to look at some of the possibilities that can occur because in the end all decisions are at Juventus, especially Motta whether Pogba can be there and fit into his plans or not.

Interestingly now after the news about Pogba's reduced ban period for now various kinds of rumors have started to exist for this player including rumors for a reunion with Manchester United and rumors about Marseille trying to approach Pogba. To be back at Manchester United I think here is a little complicated but it is still possible when Marseille starts trying to approach and I think besides Juventus the possibility of Marseille is the other biggest when he returns to being an athlete and is free from the ban.

Then I should probably reiterate. There are two parties to a deal and one party is Pogba and the other party is some club, obviously. Pogba doesn't have much to offer at this point unless he would be willing to take big cuts in the salary. If he expects a club to pay him as if he was in his prime, this is not going to happen under any circumstances. As I said, the injury list is long, the reputation is down the toilet and there is no good reason for a club to contract him unless the value for the money is good. This would only be the case if Pogba says he is fine with a low salary.

I disagree with you about maximizing Pogba's talent. The guy is 32 years of age. There is no maximizing the talent. When a player is 32, you want to bring him on and immediately expect the best. But this unrealistic given his whole situation. What is Pogba's chance really to make it into the first line squad for Manchester United? I can't see how this would be possible and as long as he wants to earn a high salary, the risk-reward ratio is trash for any club. If he says he is going to play for 3.5 million a year, then maybe a club takes the risk and accepts that if is only sitting on the bench, it doesn't hurt financially.
