Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro has signaled uncertainty over the future of Paul Pogba after the former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder joined the Ligue 1 side in June 2025 on a two‑year contract. Pogba’s first season has been marred by injury and limited playtime, with the midfielder making only six appearances, five of which came off the bench. His debut was delayed until November, and a calf issue kept him sidelined for a month.

Scuro stated that the club’s expectations were not met and that the project “didn’t go well” last season. He added that the decision on whether Pogba will stay for the second year will rest on his performance and physical readiness. The club remains open to discussion if the player’s goals diverge from those of the club.

This uncertainty could trigger a mid‑season move for Pogba or a push for him to prove himself in the summer. For Monaco, a quick resolution is essential to stabilize the squad and maintain competitiveness in Ligue 1. Fans will monitor how the manager balances squad depth with the need to keep a high‑profile player.

The outcome will affect both Pogba’s career trajectory and Monaco’s ambitions in the domestic league and European qualification races.
