French footballer Paul Pogba revealed on Sunday that he is in discussions with a club about making his return to football, following the conclusion of his doping suspension.
While Pogba did not name the club during his interview on French television, sources close to him indicated that Ligue 1 side Monaco is leading the race for his signature.
The 32-year-old former France international is looking to revive his career after enduring three tumultuous years marked by injuries, personal turmoil, and legal battles.
Pogba, who previously starred for Manchester United and Juventus, faced a string of fitness setbacks that saw his form dip and his tenure at United end in 2022. His return to Juventus did little to revive his fortunes, as injuries persisted.
Matters took a further turn when Pogba tested positive for a banned substance after a match in Italy in August 2023. Initially handed a four-year suspension, the ban was later reduced on appeal to 18 months, allowing him to resume playing from March this year.
