Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has signed for Ligue 1 side AS Monaco on a two-year deal.
The 2018 World Cup winner’s move to France marks Pogba’s return to football after seven months without a club. The midfielder was a free agent after agreeing to the mutual termination of his Juventus contract in November last year.
In a statement on their website, the Ligue 1 club announced: “AS Monaco are delighted to announce the arrival of Paul Pogba. The French World Champion has signed a 2-season deal, and is now tied to the Principality until 30 June 2027.”
Juventus decided to part ways with Pogba after an initial four-year ban in February 2024 for a doping offence was reduced to 18 months.
Paul Pogba’s Premier League best bits for Manchester United
The 32-year-old was free to return to football in March as the 18-month period began at the point of his provisional ban, which was issued in September 2023. However, Pogba has not made a professional appearance since, with his last coming as a substitute in a 2-0 victory for Juventus over Empoli.
The midfielder left Old Trafford in 2022 on a free transfer to return to Juventus and went on to make 12 appearances during his second spell in Turin.
Pogba will link up with former Tottenham and Bayern Munich defender Eric Dier, who also joined the Ligue 1 club on a free transfer this summer.
Monaco finished third in Ligue 1 last season, behind champions Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille, and will be hoping the arrival of the World Cup winner can help bridge the gap towards the top of the table.

Chceme být páté! České basketbalistky čeká poslední duel na ME, vyzvou Němky
Po čtvrtfinálové prohře se Španělskem se Češky v úvodním utkání o umístění vrátily na vítěznou vlnu, když udolaly v napínavé koncovce Litvu. Právě vítězstvím v tomto zápase si svěřenkyně Romany Ptáčkové zajistily vylepšení umístění z minulého evropského šampionátu. Před dvěma lety obsadily sedmé místo, letos skončí nejhůře šesté. Cílem je ale pátá příčka, pro český ženský basketbal by šlo o nejlepší výsledek na ME od roku 2011, kdy reprezentantky skončily čtvrté.Navíc Češky mají s Německem nevyřízené účty, právě totiž hořká prohra o dva body v prodloužení s tímto týmem připravila před dvěma lety národní tým o naději na olympijské hry v Paříži. V tehdejším týmu Romany Ptáčkové bylo hned sedm hráček z aktuálního výběru, včetně kapitánky Terezy Vyoralové nebo tahounek Elišky Hamzové a Petry Holešínské.Německé basketbalistky měly cestu do utkání o páté místo jednodušší. V pátek porazily jednoznačně Turecko rozdílem dvaceti bodů. I Němky, za které září Luisa Geiselsöderová nebo Frieda Bühnerová, budou v zápase bojovat o vylepšení výsledku z posledního […]
