Monaco Parts Ways With Pogba

Monaco has parted ways with midfielder Paul Pogba prior to the new season after the 33-year-old's stay was hampered by persistent injuries. The 2018 World Cup winner, who signed a two-year deal last year to relaunch his career, made only substitute appearances last season and recently picked up another injury.

Monaco confirmed the contract termination in a statement, acknowledging that "the objectives initially set have only been partially met." The club finished seventh in Ligue 1 last season. rocore.sbs
