Overview

  • Pogba is expected to sign a two-year contract with AS Monaco on a free transfer pending his medical this weekend.
  • He completed an 18-month ban for testing positive for the prohibited substance DHEA after the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced an initial four-year suspension.
  • The midfielder has been clubless since Juventus terminated his contract by mutual consent in November 2024.
  • AS Monaco, who finished third in Ligue 1 last season, see Pogba’s experience as a key boost for their domestic and European ambitions.
  • Although he rose through Le Havre’s academy and won the 2018 World Cup, Pogba has never played senior domestic football in France until this move.
