Paul Pogba’s Monaco Stay to End After Series of Injuries

Former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is set to leave Monaco after the French club announced plans to terminate his contract following a series of injuries.

The 33-year-old French international joined Monaco as he looked to rebuild his career after a difficult period that included a doping ban and prolonged injury problems.

However, his return to top-level football has been disrupted by further fitness setbacks.

Monaco said the objectives established when Pogba joined the club had been “only partially achieved” and confirmed that his contract, which was originally due to run until June 2027, would be ended.

Pogba is currently sidelined with a thigh injury after recently returning from a knee problem, further limiting his involvement with the Ligue 1 side.

Despite the decision to part ways, Monaco praised the midfielder’s attitude and professionalism during his time at the club.

The French side highlighted Pogba’s determination and high standards, saying he continued to make a positive contribution to the squad even when unable to play.

According to the club, the former World Cup winner shared his experience and knowledge with younger teammates and maintained a positive influence within the dressing room.

Pogba was a key member of France’s squad that won the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and enjoyed a highly successful career at Manchester United and Juventus.

However, his career has been increasingly affected by injuries and the doping suspension that kept him away from competitive football.

His latest setback now brings his short spell with Monaco to an early end, leaving the midfielder facing another challenge in his attempt to return to regular top-level football.
