Pogba leaves Monaco after contract termination
Former France midfielder Paul Pogba leaves Monaco his contract was terminated after just one season.
Paul Pogba, a former France midfielder and 2018 World Cup winner, has left Monaco after his contract was terminated early. The 33-year-old had a deal with the Ligue 1 side until June 2027, but Monaco stated that the agreement had only partially been met. During his season with Monaco, Pogba played six matches, with five as a substitute.
He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play for the club, despite not getting as many games as he had hoped. Pogba joined Monaco last summer after his doping suspension from Juventus was reduced to 18 months. He has since attracted interest from Major League Soccer, with previous links to DC United and Inter Miami. However, a hamstring injury sustained during Monaco's pre-season training camp in England could delay any potential move.
Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro acknowledged that the club's expectations were not met but praised Pogba's return to professional football. Monaco wishes Pogba well in his future endeavors.
