Rome: Thiago Motta refused on Saturday to say whether Paul Pogba had a future at Juventus after the France midfielder's four-year doping ban was slashed to 18 months.
Pogba, a World Cup winner with Les Bleus in 2018, will be able to return to competitive football from March 11 next year following Friday's ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Italian media report that Juve might still seek to terminate Pogba's contract, which runs until the end of June 2026 and is reportedly worth up to 10 million euros ($10.97 million) a season.
"The club will assess the situation and make a decision if necessary. Paul was a great player but he hasn't played for a long time," coach Motta told reporters ahead of Sunday's Serie A fixture with Cagliari.
"All I'm thinking about is our match tomorrow, nothing else really matters as far as I'm concerned."
