French midfielder Paul Pogba has left AS Monaco (the football club of the tiny sovereign Principality of Monaco, nestled on the French Riviera) after just one season, the club confirmed. The 2018 World Cup winner, who signed in June 2025 following a near two-year absence from professional football, was restricted to only six appearances totalling 115 minutes due to persistent injuries. The departure marks another setback for the 31-year-old, whose career has been severely disrupted in recent years, and leaves his footballing future uncertain.
