Paul Pogba has been waiting for the perfect opportunity to make his return and he has finally made his choice.

 

Paul Pogba, the 32-year-old French midfielder, is nearing a return to competitive football after his 18-month doping ban ended on March 11, 2025. Following the mutual termination of his Juventus contract in November 2024, Pogba has been a free agent, attracting interest from several clubs. AS Monaco is the latest to consider signing him, with the Ligue 1 side evaluating the move as Pogba aims to revive his career in one of Europe’s top five leagues to bolster his chances of a France national team recall for the 2026 World Cup.

Despite his talent and 2018 World Cup pedigree, Pogba’s options have been limited. High wage demands and concerns about his fitness, given he hasn’t played competitively since September 2023, have cooled interest from major European clubs. Links to Manchester United, his former club, have surfaced, but opinions are divided, with some fans and analysts skeptical about his ability to regain top form. Beyond Europe, MLS clubs like DC United and Inter Miami have also been mentioned as potential destinations, offering Pogba a fresh start in a less physically demanding league.

Pogba has expressed a fierce determination to silence critics, stating he’s driven by “anger and determination” to return stronger. While AS Monaco appears to be the frontrunner, no deal has been finalized, and Pogba is reportedly keeping his options open. His next move will be crucial, not only for his club career but also for his ambition to represent France again. Fans are eagerly watching to see where the dynamic midfielder will land and whether he can recapture his world-class form.
