This is just cruel! Paul Pogba’s contract will be terminated due to injury

This day turned into a real nightmare for Paul Pogba.

Details: According to Le Parisien, Monaco has decided to terminate the contract of the 33-year-old French midfielder ahead of schedule. Pogba’s current deal was set to run until the summer of 2027, so now both parties will need to settle the financial terms of the split. French media note that the club’s decision was made even before the player's latest injury.

This news is especially painful against the backdrop of today’s Monaco training session. On the morning of August 11, Pogba felt a sharp pain in his left thigh during a drill, cried out, and collapsed onto the pitch, unable to continue training.

The exact extent of the injury and the recovery timeline have not yet been announced. Reports say the Frenchman had only just returned to full training with the team late last week, and throughout the entire preseason, he managed just 45 minutes of play.

It’s a truly sad picture: just as the 2018 World Cup winner was trying to make a full comeback to football after several years of setbacks, Monaco decided to put an end to this chapter.

In the 2025/26 season, Pogba played just 6 Ligue 1 matches for Monaco, totaling 119 minutes without any goal contributions. Transfermarkt currently values the French midfielder at €2.5 million.
