Monaco Signals Paul Pogba May Leave After Injury-Hit Season

The club says it will review his fitness and wage impact while new coach Filipe Luís assesses whether to keep him

Overview

  • Club CEO Thiago Scuro said Wednesday that Pogba could leave following a formal summer review of his form and fitness.
  • Pogba made just six appearances in 2025–26 after a run of calf, thigh and ankle problems that limited him to about 115 minutes on the pitch.
  • New manager Filipe Luís has called Pogba a “special player” and will meet him in the coming days to decide if he fits the coach’s plans.
  • Monaco is trying to cut its wage bill and Pogba is under scrutiny because he is on a two-year deal that runs through June 2027 and carries a high salary.
  • Reports say owner Dmitry Rybolovlev pushed for Pogba’s signing and that likely destinations, if he departs, would be lower-profile leagues such as the Saudi Pro League, MLS or smaller European clubs.
