Paul Pogba is in talks to return to football at Monaco, talkSPORT understands.
The French midfielder has been without a club since leaving Juventus in December.
Pogba is in talks with Monaco over a return to footballGetty The midfielder has been a free agent since leaving Juventus last yearGettyPogba is free to return to action after serving an 18-month ban for doping offences.
He was previously slapped with a four-four suspension before it was reduced in October.
An initial £4,100 fine was also set aside following the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s ruling.
It followed a provisional suspension in September 2023 after testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone.
At the time, his agent Rafaela Pimenta said: “What is certain is that Paul Pogba never wanted to break a rule.”
However, since his ban expired in March, Pogba has yet to find a new club.
The 32-year-old is now in discussions with Monaco over a two-year deal.
Pogba is understood to be giving the offer serious consideration as he is keen to return to action with an elite club.
Monaco will compete in next season’s Champions League following a third-placed finish in Ligue 1.
Adi Hutter’s side will enter the competition at the league phase in September.
Pogba’s 18-month doping ban ended in March after being reduced from four yearsAFP The 32-year-old is eyeing a France return in time for next summer’s World CupGettyPogba is also keen to secure a place in France’s 2026 World Cup squad after a three-year hiatus from the national team.
His initial ban would have ruled him out of the tournament in Canada, Mexico and the USA.
Prior to having his suspension reduced, Pogba would have been unable to return to football until March 2027.
He has not featured for Les Bleus since winning his 91st cap in March 2022.
Across those appearances, Pogba has scored 11 goals and was part of the World Cup-winning side in Russia seven years ago.
Meanwhile, a move to Monaco would represent his first return to French club football since leaving Le Havre for Manchester United as a 16-year-old.
His move away from France at such a young age means Pogba has still yet to make a competitive appearance for a club in his home country.
Instead, he has made 423 senior club appearances for Juventus and United, scoring 73 goals and providing 90 assists.
