French Ligue 1 club AS Monaco is set to terminate the contract of former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba following a series of injury setbacks.
The club confirmed the development on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, with Pogba’s latest spell at Monaco reportedly brought to an end after injuries limited his involvement with the team.
Pogba joined Monaco in a bid to revive his career after a difficult period that saw his time at Juventus disrupted by a doping ban and subsequent injury problems.
The 33-year-old midfielder, who previously enjoyed a successful spell at Manchester United and played a key role in France’s 2018 FIFA World Cup triumph, has struggled to maintain consistent fitness in recent years.
His return to competitive football at Monaco was viewed as an opportunity to rebuild his career and regain his place among Europe’s top midfielders. However, recurring injury problems have prevented him from making the desired impact.
Pogba’s departure from Monaco is another setback for the midfielder, whose career has been significantly affected by injuries and off-field challenges since leaving Manchester United.
The Frenchman remains one of the most decorated midfielders of his generation, having won multiple domestic trophies with Juventus and Manchester United, as well as the FIFA World Cup with France in 2018.
Monaco’s decision now leaves Pogba facing uncertainty over the next stage of his professional career as he considers his options following his latest setback.
