After 2-year ban, Paul Pogba signs with Monaco

After 2-year ban, Paul Pogba signs with Monaco

Paul Pogba has signed a two-year contract with Ligue 1 side Monaco to return to football after an absence of almost two years, the club announced on Saturday.

The 2018 World Cup winner has made just 12 appearances over the past three seasons due to injuries, an 18-month doping ban and an extortion case in which he was the victim.

Pogba failed a drugs test in August 2023 after a match for Juventus and has been free to return to football since March, although his contract with the Italian giants was terminated last year.

The midfielder will now play club football in Ligue 1 for the first time in his professional career.

"I am determined to return to the pitch, mentally ready, physically ready, it is only a matter of time," the 32-year-old told French television last weekend.

Pogba played for Le Havre's youth team before signing for Manchester United in 2009.
