Paul Pogba and AS Monaco Mutually Terminate Contract
Former French World Cup winner Paul Pogba has parted ways with AS Monaco after a brief, injury-plagued stint.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, 33-year-old midfielder Paul Pogba has reached a mutual agreement with AS Monaco to terminate his contract. Pogba, who joined the club following the conclusion of his doping suspension, was originally signed through June 2027. However, his time at the club was limited to only six appearances last season, five of which were as a substitute, largely due to persistent injury issues.
In a statement, Pogba expressed gratitude for his time at the club, describing it as a wonderful experience despite not playing as much as he had hoped. While his departure from the French side is confirmed, his future remains uncertain. BBC Sport reports that the midfielder is currently attracting interest from Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs, with DC United and Inter Miami previously linked to him. However, any potential move is currently complicated by a hamstring injury.
For residents and visitors in Thailand who follow international football, this development marks the end of a high-profile, albeit brief, chapter for the star in Ligue 1. While the termination is official, it remains to be seen whether Pogba will recover from his current injury in time to secure a contract with a new club in the United States or elsewhere.
