Overview

  • On June 28, AS Monaco confirmed Paul Pogba’s arrival on a two-year contract, ending his stint as a free agent since November 2024.
  • Pogba completed a fitness medical on June 27 at Monaco’s La Turbie performance center, clearing the way for his first competitive action since September 2023.
  • The 2018 World Cup winner will make his Ligue 1 debut at age 32 as he works to rebuild match fitness following an 18-month suspension and a series of injuries.
  • His absence stemmed from a four-year doping ban reduced to 18 months by the Tribunal arbitral du sport, compounded by an extortion and sequestration case in which he was a victim.
  • Monaco’s Champions League–qualified project offers Pogba a platform to regain form and vie for a return to France’s national team ahead of the 2026 tournament.
