During France’s Round of 16 match against Belgium at the European Championship, Pogba was invited to watch the game. He was interviewed by Sky Sports Italia during the match. Pogba said that he is now like a child who wants to be a professional footballer, but he will not consider retirement for now. 
During the match, Pogba’s name was chanted by the fans. He was touched by it: “I’m happy that I can still get the love of the fans. It’s been a while since I’ve been on the pitch, so when I heard everyone singing my name, I was really happy.”
In August 2023, Pogba was found to have taken banned substances in a urine test after a Serie A game, and was ultimately banned for four years. However, Pogba said he will not retire because of this and is still appealing.
“My career? You haven’t seen me say I’m retiring, that’s because I’m still a footballer. I’m still here, still positive. I’m still fighting against injustice. Just wait and see, things will get better.”
“I don’t know if you saw the full interview, that video only showed part of it. I never said Pogba was ‘gone.’ I still feel like a player, I’m still training with a positive attitude. I spent a lot of time with my family, watching the kids grow up. But I couldn’t do what I love, which is football. I really want to come back.”
“I’m so eager for all this, I feel like a kid who wants to be a professional.”
Rumors have been circulating that Juventus will terminate their contract with Pogba early in the future. He responded: “From what I last heard, I’m still a Juventus player, I think the club is waiting for the appeal. As for the rest, you have to ask them.”
