When it peaked with a doping conviction after two seasons at Juventus with a total of 211 minutes in the match arena, there were many who wrote off Paul Pogba from a comeback at the top level. Those who know Pogba’s fighting spirit and the drive to show that people don’t have a clue criticizing him, knew it was only a matter of time before the Frenchman returns. The same people knew that the 32-year-old didn’t want to hide away in MLS either.
Pogba has been linked to several clubs, but his agent has also faced his share of closed doors. The risk of signing the injury-prone without a proper season for many years is of course high. Now a Champions League club is willing to take this risk.

According to Foot Mercato, it will be Monaco for Pogba next season. Sky Sports reports that negotiations are still underway, but both parties are prepared to agree.
The club from the principality, with Adi Hütter at the helm, exited last season with 3rd place in Ligue 1 and a Champions League ticket. We loved Pogba when he was at his peak, but this has been so far, far too long ago. Can we hope that the French ball artist has got more “order in his life” and can keep his focus on the match arena? Either way, it will be exciting to see the French world champion back on the biggest football stages.
