French club AS Monaco are on the verge of finalizing the signing of Paul Pogba as a free agent. Sources indicate that the final nuances of a two-year contract are currently being finalized and an official announcement is expected soon.
The 32‑year‑old midfielder—capped 91 times for France and a member of the 2018 World Cup–winning squad—has been out of competitive play since September 2023 due to an 18-month suspension for doping. His ban was originally set at four years before being reduced by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, permitting him to return to football in March 2025.
Since regaining eligibility, Pogba has maintained peak fitness and hinted at a comeback on social media, posting training photos captioned, “I think it’s time.” Despite speculation linking him to Real Madrid, multiple authoritative outlets—including BBC and Le Parisien—confirm Monaco as his likely next destination.
This move would mark Pogba’s first stint in French domestic football since departing Le Havre for Manchester United at age 16. Monaco, fresh off qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League, see Pogba’s arrival as a major statement of intent ahead of the campaign.
