Ligue 1 club AS Monaco are set to terminate the contract of former Manchester United and Juventus star Paul Pogba.
This is according to French media outlet Nice-Matin (via Yahoo Sports).
Nice-Matin informed Pogba a few weeks ago that they intended to end their professional arrangement early. Furthermore, it’s being reported that the club will look for a financial settlement with the player and pay out any outstanding wages.
It was only last summer that the 2018 World Cup winner joined Les Monégasques on a free transfer following the end of his doping ban.
Pogba struggled with his fitness in his first season back in professional football since 2023. He made only six appearances, totalling 105 minutes of football.
Earlier this summer, Pogba surprised the club by suggesting on social media that he planned to stay for the next season, as discussions over his future had not yet begun. As it turns out, the Frenchman will not continue his career in the Principality.

Pogba began his professional career at Manchester United, playing several games in the 2011–12 season. However, limited appearances caused him to join Italian club Juventus on a free transfer in 2012, where he soon developed into one of the best midfielders in Europe.
Pogba was a focal part to the club winning four consecutive Serie A titles and two Coppa Italia titles, which included domestic doubles in 2014–15 and 2015–16.
He was named in the UEFA Team of the Year and in the FIFA FIFPro World11 after helping Juventus reach the 2015 UEFA Champions League final, their first in twelve years.
He returned to Manchester United in 2016 for a then-world record transfer fee of £89.3 million. The fee was also the highest for an English club at the time.
In his first season back, he won the EFL Cup and the UEFA Europa League, being awarded the Europa League Player of the Season. In the following season, he helped United finish as both Premier League and FA Cup runners-up.
