Pogba burst into tears

The French midfielder could not control his emotions as he signed for AS Monaco, marking his return to the pitch after an 18-month ban.

On June 28, Pogba burst into tears after signing a 2-year contract to play in Ligue 1. This is the first time Pogba has played for a club in his home country after a long time playing in Italy and England.

"I want to return to the pitch where I belong. Ligue 1 is a new challenge and also where I will find myself again," Pogba said.

According to L'Equipe , Pogba will receive a much lower salary than what he earned at Juventus or Manchester United. French newspapers said the midfielder born in 1993 will receive about 2.5 million USD per season, significantly lower than the 10 million USD per year he earned at Juventus.

Pogba's aim is to get back to his best and secure a place in the national team, with the 2026 World Cup looming. The French midfielder believes that if he performs well in the Champions League and the World Cup, he can revive his troubled career.

Monaco finished 3rd in the 2024/25 Ligue 1 season and will play in the Champions League next year. The team hopes Pogba will be an important addition to upgrade the squad.

In addition to Pogba, Monaco are also preparing to launch a loan deal for Ansu Fati from Barcelona.
