Overview
- Pogba collapsed with severe left‑thigh pain during AS Monaco’s pre‑season session at St George’s Park and was scheduled for an MRI to assess the damage.
- Monaco have told Pogba the project 'did not work' and are negotiating a mutual contract termination with a financial settlement aimed to conclude before the September 1 transfer deadline.
- The club’s decision follows a season of recurring muscular and knee problems that limited Pogba to six appearances and 115 minutes in 2025–26.
- Reported interest from Major League Soccer clubs including DC United and Inter Miami is on hold while Pogba’s medical results and the contract outcome are resolved.
- Pogba’s situation closes a chapter on his attempted comeback after an 18‑month CAS ban was lifted in March 2025 and leaves him facing a choice between rehabilitation, a move to lower‑intensity leagues, or retirement.
