Pogba Takes Number 8 Shirt Ahead of Monaco Move

Football News

Paul Pogba has reportedly chosen the shirt number he will wear upon joining AS Monaco. The French international midfielder is expected to don the number 8 jersey for Les Monégasques.

The former Manchester United player is set to be officially unveiled as a Monaco player soon, having successfully completed his medical examination. Pogba arrives at the Principality club on a free transfer, signing a contract for two years. He became a free agent after his previous contract with Juventus was terminated following an 18-month doping ban.

Additional Signings Expected

Pogba is not the only new arrival anticipated at the Stade Louis II. The Ligue 1 side is also reportedly close to finalising a loan agreement for Ansu Fati, the 22-year-old forward from Barcelona. This deal is said to include an option for Monaco to purchase the Spaniard for €11 million. Fati`s transfer to Les Monégasques is expected to be confirmed early in July.
