Former France World Cup winner Paul Pogba has parted ways with AS Monaco after just six appearances, according to the French top-flight club. The separation occurred before the start of the new season due to targets set only being partly achieved, according to a joint assessment. Monaco's statement revealed that Pogba moved to the principality in 2025 after being without a club previously.

In August 2023, Pogba tested positive for a doping substance and was subsequently banned. He made his comeback with Monaco but only managed 115 minutes of playing time last season. Pogba expressed that representing Monaco and the principality was an incredible experience in his statement.
