Tomorrow's Another Test Day for Pogba
Paul Pogba, affectionately known as "The Rock," rolled through his first round of medical assessments on Friday. The upcoming Saturday will see more tests, according to insiders from the Radio France sports department. Given the positive results thus far, Pogba's signing should follow shortly, with a public unveiling planned for Thursday, July 3rd.
Pogba's been a free agent since parting ways with Juventus Turin in November 2024, having endured a four-year suspension — later reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport — due to a positive doping test in August 2023. With 91 caps for the French football team, Pogba is determined to rejoin the national squad with an eye on the 2026 World Cup, hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Monaco's return to the Champions League doubly sweetened the deal for the midfielder.
Middle East and MLS Offers Turned Down
Although lucrative offers beckoned from clubs in the Middle East and Major League Soccer, Pogba opted for a more modest two-year contract with AS Monaco, taking a substantial pay cut in the process. Multiple sources, including French outlets, ESPN, and football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, have confirmed the agreement in principle[1][2][3][4]. Final contract details are still being finalized, with medical tests scheduled for later in the week before the deal is official.
