Pogba,who was once the most expensive player in the world,now plays fo Juventus but will hang his boots, for the next four years unless magic happens.
The 30-year-old star tested positive to testosterone after Juventus's first game of the season against Udinese, La Repubblica reports.
The hefty punishment handed to Pogba came from the anti-doping prosecutor's office in Italy on Thursday.
The player's lawyers had claimed that Pogba injected the substance by accident and had rejected a plea deal. Pogba said he would appeal the ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sports.
He wouldn't be able to return to the pitch unless the ban is overturned. Football pundits suggest that this could potentially end his football career as he would turn 31 in March.
If he ends up serving the hefty punishment, he would have been 35 by the time it ends.
