Paul Pogba is expected to leave Monaco amid talks over a possible contract termination.<\/p>\n

The former World Cup winner joined the Ligue 1 side last summer after he was permitted to return to professional football after a doping suspension.<\/p>\n

Pogba signed a two year deal, which was due to run until the end of the forthcoming season.<\/p>\n

But a source has told the BBC discussions over an early exit are under way and are expected to be concluded soon.<\/p>\n

Monaco have not yet commented on the situation.<\/p>\n

Pogba’s first season at Monaco was disrupted by injury but there was hope this season would see the France international play regularly.<\/p>\n

But a change in manager, after Filipe Luis replaced Sebastien Pocognoli, could see Monaco head in a different direction in central midfield.<\/p>\n

Pogba was provisionally banned from football for four years after a positive test for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in February 2024, following a doping test in August 2023.<\/p>\n

Pogba maintained it was a mistake and that he was given a supplement without knowing it contained a banned substance.<\/p>\n

The France international, a 2018 World Cup winner, was permitted to return to football in March 2025 following the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s decision to reduce his ban to 18 months<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paul Pogba is expected to leave Monaco amid talks over a possible contract termination.
