Paul Pogba's Future at AS Monaco Uncertain Amid Injury Concerns

World‑cup winner Paul Pogba, 33, has struggled to regain fitness since joining AS Monaco in the summer of 2025, making only six appearances last season and missing recent preseason matches after a muscle injury. Coach Filipe Luis said Pogba is training apart from the squad while he continues his rehabilitation, and the club has not set a return date.

Monaco’s director of football Thiago Scuro acknowledged that Pogba has not met the club’s expectations and that his contract runs until 2027. The club will assess his physical condition and role during the summer preparation and may consider a transfer to ease the wage bill, a decision monitored by the French financial watchdog DNCG. Fellow midfielder Eric Dier is also mentioned as potentially facing a similar outcome.
