Former France midfielder Paul Pogba has parted ways with Monaco after the Ligue 1 club terminated his contract following just one season.
Pogba, who helped France win the 2018 FIFA World Cup, had been contracted to Monaco until June 2027.
However, the club announced that the agreement had been ended early after objectives set by both parties were only “partially achieved”.
The 33-year-old midfielder made six appearances for Monaco last season, starting just one of those matches and coming on as a substitute in the other five.
Pogba’s spell at Monaco was also affected by his struggles to regain his best form following a doping ban and a series of injury setbacks.
“Representing this club and the principality was an incredible experience,” said Pogba.

“AS Monaco is an incredible club and although I did not play as many games as I had hoped, I will always be grateful for the opportunity to wear their colours.”
Pogba joined Monaco last summer after he was permitted to return to professional football following a doping suspension he received while at Juventus.
Pogba maintained that it was a mistake and he was permitted to return to football in March 2025 following the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s decision to reduce his ban from four years to 18 months.
Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro said: “When [Pogba] joined, we explained that this was a major challenge, that was audacious and ambitious.
“While the outcome is not what we had hoped for, it should not overshadow the enthusiasm that surrounded his return to club football, nor the fact that Paul was able to return to the pitch and to professional football during this period.
“We wish Paul all the very best for the future.”
