AS Monaco is on the verge of signing French midfielder Paul Pogba on a free transfer, with a two-year contract nearly finalized. The 31-year-old World Cup winner is expected to sign soon, marking a potential turning point in his career following injury setbacks and a challenging stint at Juventus.
What is Pogba’s current contract situation?
Pogba has been a free agent after his recent departure from Juventus, where recurring injuries limited his impact since returning to the Serie A club in 2022. Despite high expectations, his second spell in Turin was marred by long spells on the sidelines and off-pitch controversy. Now, with medicals and final paperwork being prepared, Monaco is confident the deal will be completed in the coming days.
What are Paul Pogba’s major achievements?
Pogba remains one of the most decorated midfielders of his generation. His standout achievements include winning the 2018 FIFA World Cup with France, where he played a pivotal role throughout the tournament, including scoring in the final against Croatia.
At club level, he began his senior career at Manchester United, where he won the Europa League and Carabao Cup in 2017, and consistently delivered top performances in midfield. During his time at Juventus from 2012 to 2016, Pogba lifted four consecutive Serie A titles, two Coppa Italia trophies, and helped the team reach the 2015 UEFA Champions League final.
A fit and focused Pogba brings experience, creativity, and leadership to the midfield. For Monaco, his arrival could be a major boost as the club aims to return to title contention in Ligue 1 and make a strong impression in European competitions. The potential move also marks a homecoming of sorts, as Pogba returns to play professionally in his home country after years abroad.
