AS Monaco Negotiates Early Exit for Paul Pogba
AS Monaco is in discussions to mutually terminate Paul Pogba's contract, which he signed last summer for two years after returning to professional football following an 18-month doping suspension. Pogba's first season at Monaco was hindered by injuries, limiting his playing time.
The club's new manager, Filipe Luis, who replaced Sébastien Pocognoli, may lead to changes in the midfield strategy. According to Fabrizio Romano on X, AS Monaco has offered to terminate Pogba's contract by September 1st, allowing him to seek a new club.
Pogba, currently injured, has been informed of the club's intentions. He received a four-year ban after testing positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in August 2023, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced his suspension to 18 months, permitting his return to professional football in March 2025.
If the termination is finalized, Pogba's time at Monaco will end prematurely.
