IT’S OFFICIAL: Pogba joins Monaco after serving doping ban
Paul Pogba has officially joined AS Monaco on a free transfer after signing a two-year contract with the Ligue 1 club.
The French club announced the former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder’s signing on Saturday as he returns to competitive football following a doping suspension.
Pogba, a Man United youth product, left for Juventus a second time in 2022, but his latter spell with the Bianconneri was ruined by a failed drug test in September 2023.
His four-year doping ban for non-endogenous testosterone was however reduced to 18 months by the court of arbitration for sports (CAS).
Juventus also terminated the midfielder’s contract while serving the ban.
The 32-year-old now makes his return after serving the ban, with Monaco snapping up the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner.
”AS Monaco are delighted to announce the arrival of Paul Pogba,” the club wrote.
“The French World Champion has signed a two-season deal, having signed with the Principality until 30 June 2027.”
Pogba, a winner of four consecutive Serie A titles with Juventus, also won the Europa League with Manchester United.
