Summer Shock: Paul Pogba Signs for Liverpool in Stunning Premier League Twist
In a move that has rocked the footballing world, Paul Pogba has made a sensational return to the Premier League—this time wearing the red of Liverpool, Manchester United’s fiercest rivals.
The 31-year-old French midfielder, recently available on a free transfer after serving a lengthy suspension for a doping violation during his time at Juventus, has signed with Liverpool under new manager Arne Slot. The announcement has triggered shockwaves across the globe, not only because of Pogba’s controversial history, but also due to the deep-rooted rivalry between his former and new clubs.
Having exited Manchester United in 2022, Pogba’s career looked to be on a downward spiral following his ban. But Liverpool have opted to roll the dice, convinced that the World Cup winner still has more to give—and Arne Slot is the man placing the bet.
Sources close to the club reveal that Slot views Pogba as a key addition to his midfield rebuild, providing experience, strength, and creativity in a squad that has recently seen the exits of stalwarts like Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and James Milner. Pogba is being brought in not just as a player, but as a statement.
Speaking at his unveiling, Pogba acknowledged the weight of his decision:
“People will have opinions, of course. But I’m here to focus on the game. I want to win again—and Liverpool is giving me that chance. Arne Slot believed in me when others turned away.”
Reactions among Liverpool fans have ranged from cautious optimism to stunned disbelief. Some see Pogba as a high-risk, high-reward signing who could bring much-needed flair to the midfield. Others are wary, given his previous inconsistencies and injury record.
Slot, however, remains undeterred.
“Everyone deserves a fresh start. Paul wants to prove something—and that’s all I need to hear,” he said in a brief statement to the media.
Whether this bold move results in redemption or reignites controversy is anyone’s guess. But one thing is clear: Paul Pogba’s switch to Liverpool is one of the most dramatic and unexpected transfers in recent memory—and it’s already reshaping the storylines of the upcoming Premier League season.
