Governing body give Serie A champs all clear following investigation into the then world-record transfer that took star back to Old Trafford
FIFA have cleared Juventus of any wrongdoing over the transfer of Paul Pogba to Manchester United.
Football's world governing body announced in May that they were investigating the then world-record move that took place last summer.
The Red Devils splashed out £89million to the Serie A champions to bring the French international to Old Trafford.
United cleared United in June but opened proceedings against Juventus.
It was claimed the Italian side's arrangement with agent Mino Raiola could have breached third-party ownership rules.
But following the investigation, Fifa have now confirmed that they will be taking no action.
A spokesman told PA: "The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has decided to dismiss all charges against the club Juventus FC for the apparent infringements of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP) in the frame of the transfer of the player Paul Labile Pogba given that the evidence available was not sufficient to establish to the appropriate standard of proof, that art. 18ter of the RSTP had been breached.
"The Disciplinary Committee nevertheless underlined the importance of always preserving the independence of clubs and players in recruitment and transfer-related matters in order to ensure the integrity of matches and competitions."
