Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has dropped a hint that suggests he is set to join a new club.
The 31-year-old left Juventus last month and is ready to return to football in March after his four-year ban for doping was reduced to 18 months following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Pogba has been linked with moves to Marseille, Major League Soccer side Inter Miami and the Saudi Pro League, although no agreement has yet been reached.
Speaking last month, Marseille and France midfielder, Adrien Rabiot, urged Pogba to make the move to Ligue 1.
‘I would advise him to come to Marseille, yes,’ Rabiot said. ‘Paul is a talented player. If he regains all his physical abilities and is also good in his head, he remains a top player.’
Pogba has now indicated that his next club could be revealed shortly with an Instagram post on Friday evening which included an hourglass emoji, a zipped-face emoji and a winking-face emoji.
Pogba has not played in a competitive match since September last year before he was provisionally suspended after testing positive for testosterone.

Earlier this week, former United striker Louis Saha claimed that he had heard suggestions that Pogba had received an offer to train with Ruben Amorim’s side in the New Year.
‘I’ve heard some rumours that Paul Pogba will be offered the opportunity to come back and train with Man Utd in the New Year, and I think that would be a great opportunity for Paul,’ Saha told Casino Utan Spelpaus.
‘He needs to get back to his best level as quickly as possible, and training with top players will help him to do that. I think he would be thrilled to have the opportunity to go back to the club.
‘I think that Paul Pogba is still a very special player, when you think about midfielders, Pogba has unique qualities.
‘I think the United squad lacks power in the midfield, and we’re missing a skilful player that can play box-to-box, so he would be a good addition because he’s a different profile of player to what United have.’
