Paul Pogba, a former France midfielder and 2018 World Cup winner, has left Monaco following the early termination of his contract. The 33-year-old played only six matches for the Ligue 1 side last season, with five of those games coming as a substitute. Monaco revealed that the termination was due to the objectives set by both parties being only "partially achieved."
Pogba expressed gratitude for the opportunity to represent Monaco and the club, stating it was an incredible experience. He joined Monaco last summer after being allowed to return to professional football following a four-year ban, reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Pogba has attracted interest from Major League Soccer, with recent speculation linking him to clubs like DC United and Inter Miami.
However, he recently sustained a hamstring injury during Monaco's pre-season training camp in England, which might delay any potential move. Monaco's CEO, Thiago Scuro, acknowledged the ambitious nature of Pogba's return to club football but stated that the outcome was not what they had hoped for. The club wishes Pogba all the best in his future endeavors.
