AS Monaco is set to terminate Paul Pogba's contract, with the club having already told the midfielder several weeks ago that it intended to end their arrangement early. A financial settlement covering his outstanding wages is expected to be worked out as part of the separation, bringing a difficult chapter at the principality's club to a formal close.

The termination follows a fresh physical setback on August 11, when Pogba collapsed during a training session after experiencing severe pain in his left leg. The episode came after weeks of ongoing knee problems, extending a run of injury trouble that has defined much of his time in Monaco rather than time actually spent on the pitch.

Pogba joined the club on a free transfer in the summer of 2025, immediately after his doping ban had ended, in what was widely framed as a fresh start for the former Juventus and Manchester United midfielder. The reality on the pitch fell well short of that framing: across his first season in Monaco colours he made just six appearances, totalling only 105 minutes of first team football.

For a player once considered among the finest midfielders of his generation, the Monaco spell adds another setback to a career already reshaped by injuries and time away from the game. With the contract now set to be torn up before it ran its course, his next step, and whether his body allows him to attempt one, remains an open question.
