monaco, france - Paul Pogba has finalized a move to Ligue 1 club Monaco as he prepares to make a competitive comeback after a two-year hiatus. The World Cup winner's last game was in September 2023 for Juventus.
Paul Pogba Joins Monaco for Comeback
Paul Pogba, the renowned midfielder, has officially signed a two-year contract with Monaco, declining an offer from a Saudi Pro League team. Pogba's absence from competitive play since September 2023, due to a doping ban, has come to an end.
Background and Ban Reduction
In 2023, Pogba faced a ban for elevated Testosterone levels, which was later reduced to 18 months post appeal. Consequently, his contract with Juventus was terminated in 2024, rendering him clubless until now.
Path to Monaco
Despite rumored interest from MLS and Saudi Pro League, Pogba opted to return to France, where he began his career at Le Havre. Having played for Manchester United and Juventus, this move marks his first competitive stint in his home country.
