Paul Pogba to be released by Monaco: club

Monaco said injuries limited the 33-year-old World Cup winner to six Ligue 1 matches and only 115 minutes last season.

  • On Wednesday, Monaco announced they will release midfielder Paul Pogba, stating that the objectives set for the player were "only partially achieved" and ending a contract that would have run until June 2027.
  • After testing positive for testosterone in 2023 while playing for Juventus, Pogba received a four-year ban, which was reduced to 18 months following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
  • Acknowledging limited playing time, Pogba noted he had not "played as many matches" for Monaco as he had hoped, featuring in only six Ligue games for 115 minutes on the pitch.
  • Monaco paid tribute to Pogba's "remarkable mindset, determination and unwavering high standards" and his influence by "sharing his experience and know-how." Pogba thanked his "president, management, teammates, all the staff as well as all the supporters who believed."
  • Before his recent struggles, Pogba made 233 appearances for Manchester United and won four Italian titles with Juventus. He also helped France win the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
