Monaco Parts Ways with Pogba After Injury-Plagued Stay

Monaco has terminated Paul Pogba's contract after the former France star's stay was hampered by persistent injuries, limiting him to only a handful of substitute appearances last season.

Monaco and Paul Pogba have mutually agreed to terminate their contract before the new season begins. The 2018 World Cup winner, who joined Monaco last year in a bid to revive his career derailed by injuries and a doping ban, struggled to maintain fitness throughout his brief stay.

The 33-year-old midfielder, who scored in the 2018 World Cup final and became the then-most expensive player when he returned to Manchester United for €105 million, recently picked up another injury during preseason. Monaco finished seventh in Ligue 1 last season. chickenroadslot.lat
