Paul Pogba's stint at Monaco is to be cut short, as discussions over a possible contract termination are currently underway. Since joining the Ligue 1 side in June 2025, Pogba has made just six appearances, a return that has been disrupted by injury. The former World Cup winner had signed a two-year deal, set to expire at the end of the forthcoming season, but it now appears that his time at the club may be coming to an end sooner rather than later.
A source has revealed that talks over an early exit are progressing, with a conclusion expected in the near future. Pogba's first season at Monaco was marked by injury, but there had been hope that this season would see the France international play a more regular role. However, a change in management, with Filipe Luis replacing Sebastien Pocognoli, may have altered the club's direction in central midfield, potentially paving the way for Pogba's departure.
Pogba's return to professional football was initially delayed due to a doping suspension, after he tested positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in August2023. The France international maintained that he had been given a supplement without knowing it contained a banned substance, and was eventually permitted to return to football in March 2025, following the Court of Arbitration for Sport's decision to reduce his ban to 18 months. As the situation at Monaco continues to unfold, it remains to be seen what the next step will be for the 2018 World Cup winner.
With Pogba's contract termination looming, the focus will now shift to what the future holds for the talented midfielder. Will he be able to find a new club and rediscover his form, or will his time at Monaco be remembered as a missed opportunity? As the talks between Pogba and Monaco reach their conclusion, one thing is certain - the France international's time at the Ligue 1 side is drawing to a close.
