Ligue 1: Monaco set to part ways with Pogba — Report

n n

Monaco are set to part ways with Paul Pogba, with talks over an early termination of the midfielder’s contract underway.

n

Pogba joined the Ligue 1 club last summer on a two-year deal after returning to professional football following an 18-month doping suspension.

n

His first season at Monaco was disrupted by injury, limiting his playing time. There had been hopes that the former France international would feature more regularly this season.

n

However, the arrival of Filipe Luis as Monaco’s new manager, replacing Sébastien Pocognoli, could lead to changes in the club’s midfield plans.

n

As reported by Fabrizio Romano on X on Wednesday, “AS Monaco offer contract termination to Paul Pogba. Club want to mutually terminate his deal by September 1st to let Paul find a new club this year. Decision up to Pogba (now injured) but AS Monaco informed his camp.”

n

Pogba was initially given a four-year ban after testing positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) following a doping test in August 2023. He insisted the positive test was accidental and said he had unknowingly taken a supplement containing the banned substance.

n

The Court of Arbitration for Sport later reduced his suspension to 18 months, allowing him to return to professional football in March 2025.

n

If the agreement is completed, Pogba’s time at Monaco will come to an early end, leaving the 2018 World Cup winner to consider the next step in his career.
