Racing against time: Pogba grapples with corruption as Ligue 1 season approaches
Paul Pogba Makes a Comeback with AS Monaco
Paul Pogba, the renowned French midfielder, has returned to professional football after an 18-month hiatus, signing a two-year contract with AS Monaco on June 28, 2025. The footballer, who has not played competitively for two years, is now focusing on getting back on the pitch and making a comeback.
After joining Monaco, Pogba has been undergoing comeback training sessions since mid-August 2025. Monaco coach Adi Hütter has expressed optimism about Pogba's progress, indicating that the footballer could soon participate in training sessions with the team. However, a precise timeline for his return to official competition has not been publicly announced.
Pogba's return to Monaco marks the beginning of the easy part for him, according to the general manager, Thiago Scuro. The club is taking a cautious approach to reintegrating Pogba into match action, closely monitoring his fitness and readiness before his full return.
The key moment for Pogba will be when he is able to participate in all training sessions with the group. Once he achieves this milestone, he will be one step closer to making his much-anticipated return to competitive football.
Pogba's emotional signing with Monaco went viral on social media, signaling his strong motivation after the period out of football. The footballer has also expressed his desire to win back his spot in the France national team, with the World Cup in 2026 being his ultimate goal.
In addition to his football comeback, Pogba and his wife, Zulay, have launched a high-end jewellery brand named 'Unbreakable'. The collection is a direct nod to Pogba's recent hardships, symbolising his resilience and determination to overcome adversity.
Monaco coach Adi Huetter is impressed by Pogba's commitment and how quickly he has integrated into the squad. The coach believes that Pogba's return to club football in France for the first time in his professional career with Monaco will be a significant boost for the team.
Pogba's return to competition could be in the autumn, possibly in time for the home match against Nice on October 5. However, fans and football enthusiasts alike will have to wait and see whether Pogba's comeback will be as successful as his previous stints in the game.
