Slovenian cycling sensation Tadej Pogačar, one of the sport’s brightest talents, is reportedly considering shortening his current contract with UAE Team Emirates. According to sources close to the 25-year-old, Pogačar has received a lucrative offer from another prominent team, sparking speculation about his future. Although he is currently contracted with UAE Team Emirates until 2027, the new deal on the table could change the trajectory of his career.
Pogačar, who has already achieved immense success with UAE Team Emirates—winning the Tour de France twice, alongside several other prestigious races—has allegedly been offered a more significant financial package and a team role that aligns with his ambitions. The details of the potential new team remain undisclosed, but it is clear that the offer is enticing enough to make the Slovenian cyclist reconsider his long-term commitment to his current team.
If Pogačar does decide to make the switch, it would send shockwaves through the cycling world. UAE Team Emirates has invested heavily in him, building a team structure around his talents, and his departure would require major restructuring.
While Pogačar’s camp has not confirmed or denied these rumors, fans and pundits alike are closely watching how this situation unfolds. The potential move could redefine his career and alter the competitive landscape of professional cycling.
