Reports indicate, via Marc Mechenoua, that midfielder Paul Pogba, aged 32, is scheduled to finalise his transfer to Monaco this Thursday. The French international is expected to sign a contract for two years with the Monégasque club upon his arrival in the Principality.
Pogba is set to join Monaco as a free agent. His contract with Juventus was ended prematurely in November 2024 following the partial lifting of a ban. Initially handed a four-year suspension for a doping violation after testing positive for a prohibited substance, his ban was later reduced to 18 months upon appeal. The midfielder has reportedly been training individually in Miami while awaiting the finalisation of his move.
Ligue 1 over Saudi Arabia
At one stage, there were concerns that Pogba`s proposed transfer to Monaco might not materialise. The potential agreement faced a challenge when another club was reportedly attempting to intercept the Ligue 1 side`s pursuit of the 32-year-old. Al Ittihad were the interested party from Saudi Arabia, but the former Manchester United player ultimately chose a return to France over a switch to the Middle East.
