The 32-year-old midfielder, who won the world title with France in 2018, has hardly played in the past three seasons due to injuries, a doping suspension and an extortion case. The 91-time international last played for Juventus. His contract was terminated there last year after he tested positive for testosterone in August 2023.

Pogba was given a four-year doping ban, but that sentence was reduced to eighteen months by the sports tribunal CAS. He signed a two-year contract with AS Monaco at the end of June.

In 2024, his brother Mathias was sentenced to three years in prison, two of which were suspended, for his role in a plot to extort Pogba for 13 million euros.
