Pogba suffers new injury setback with Monaco future now in doubt
Former France and Manchester United star Paul Pogba suffers latest injury setback, sparking rumours about Monaco future.
Monaco are reportedly preparing to terminate Paul Pogba's contract early. The midfielder joined the Ligue 1 club last summer on a two-year deal following an 18-month doping suspension. His initial season at Monaco was marred by injuries. Filipe Luis, who has taken over as manager from Sébastien Pocognoli, might influence changes in Monaco's midfield plans.
According to a report by Fabrizio Romano on X, Monaco has given Pogba until September 1st to mutually end his contract, allowing the player to seek a new club this year. The decision rests with Pogba, who is currently injured. Pogba was initially banned for four years after testing positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in a doping test in August 2023.
However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced his ban to 18 months, enabling his return to professional football in March 2025.
