World Cup Winner Signs Two-Year Deal, Eyes Champions League Return
In a move that marks his long-awaited return to professional football, Paul Pogba has officially joined AS Monaco on a free transfer, the Ligue 1 club announced today.
The former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder, who served an 18-month doping suspension, is now set to revive his career in France’s top flight.
A Patient Comeback After Turbulent Years
Pogba, 32, had been eligible to return to football since March 2024 after his initial four-year ban was reduced on appeal. Despite interest from clubs like DC United and Olympique Marseille, the 2018 World Cup winner took his time choosing the right project—eventually settling on Monaco’s ambitious vision.
The French giants, preparing for a Champions League campaign, saw Pogba as a high-profile addition to bolster their midfield. After weeks of negotiations, the deal was finalized, with the midfielder signing a two-year contract.
Can Pogba Still Shine?
The big question now is whether Pogba can recapture his best form after nearly two years away from competitive football. His last official match was in September 2023, and prior to his ban, he struggled with persistent injury problems. However, sources say he has been training rigorously in Miami to stay fit.
More Reinforcements Coming?
Monaco’s summer rebuild doesn’t stop with Pogba. The club is also set to sign Barcelona’s Ansu Fati, another player looking to reignite his career after injury setbacks. The Spanish winger has reportedly completed his medical and will be unveiled soon.
A Fresh Start in Familiar Territory
Returning to Ligue 1, where he first rose to stardom with Juventus after leaving Manchester United, Pogba now faces a critical chapter. Can he silence doubters and prove he still belongs at the highest level? Monaco fans will soon find out.
For now, football welcomes back one of its most charismatic stars—hoping this comeback story has a happy ending.
