Monaco offers Pogba contract termination after new injury

Paul Pogba's attempt to revive his career at AS Monaco appears to be over after the club offered the former World Cup winner a contract termination following a new injury setback. The 33-year-old midfielder suffered a left thigh injury on Tuesday during the first day of Monaco's training camp in England, casting serious doubt on his future with the Ligue 1 side.

The injury occurred at St George's Park, the English national football centre, where Monaco was training after a friendly match against Liverpool on Sunday. According to reports, Pogba was only returning to group training after a long spell dealing with right knee problems. The new setback means he is now considered some way off the fitness level required to begin the upcoming season.

Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro had already begun signaling the club's intentions in July, publicly expressing doubts about Pogba's future and emphasizing the need to manage the club's wage bill under French football's financial regulations. The club is now seeking to finalize a financial settlement before the summer transfer window closes on September 1.
