Star Footballer Pogba Resumes Professional Career
Lightening Up Old Ghosts: Pogba Steps Back onto the Field
Yep, you heard it right! The charismatic, World Cup-winning powerhouse, Paul Pogba, is back baby! After a grueling 18-month stint, this 32-year-old footballing prodigy, known for his on-pitch brilliance and vibrant personality, has found a new home. The announcement came from AS Monaco, confirming his contract running until June 30, 2027. Previously, ol' Pogba was a free agent.

Back to the Game: June 28, 2025
Now if you're wondering why Pogba needed a break, let's get one thing straight—Juventus Turin wasn't too keen on keeping him around. They dumped him in November 2024 as his contract, initially set to expire this month, got axed. His doping trouble, which popped up after a Serie A showdown between Juventus and Udinese Calcio in August 2023, was the culprit—testosterone levels higher than normal. Confirmed by both his A-sample and B-sample tests.
Pogba argued his case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), insisting he didn't intentionally use performance-enhancing substances. Thankfully for Pogba, the CAS reduced his initial four-year ban to 18 months, ruling that there was no deliberate doping involved.
AS Monaco teased a resurrection in a short video posted on Instagram, cleverly dubbing it "Rebirth". Born in Manchester, young Pogba kick-started his career in England with Manchester United back in the day. Besides Juventus, he's only played football for one other team.
