AS Monaco announced the departure of Paul Pogba on Tuesday, ending the midfielder's spell with the Ligue 1 club. The French international, who joined the principality side in 2022, has been unable to establish himself as a regular fixture in the team's lineup.
Pogba's time at Monaco has been marked by recurring fitness issues that have limited his availability and impact on the pitch. The veteran midfielder has made only a handful of appearances since his arrival, struggling to replicate the form that made him a prominent figure at previous clubs.
The 33-year-old's career has faced considerable turbulence in recent years, particularly following his suspension from professional football related to an anti-doping violation. His efforts to regain match sharpness and consistency have been hampered by a combination of injuries sustained during his recovery period.
With his Monaco contract terminated, Pogba will now seek a new club to continue his playing career. The decision marks another chapter in a challenging period for the midfielder as he attempts to rebuild his professional standing in European football.
