In a move aimed at revitalizing his once-glorious career, former France midfielder Paul Pogba has signed a two-year contract with AS Monaco. Announced on Saturday, the transfer allows Pogba to re-enter top-flight French football following a period marred by injuries and a doping-related suspension.

The announcement, made via a video and statement on Monaco's official platforms, features Pogba sporting the club's distinctive red-and-white jersey. At 32, Pogba, who has played at top clubs like Juventus and Manchester United, has been searching for a new chapter since his departure from Juventus last year.

Monaco's third-place finish in Ligue 1 last season means they are eyeing a formidable presence in both domestic and European competitions. Pogba's return to France, where he initially developed his skills at Le Havre's academy, is seen as a bold move to enhance their squad and aspirations for the upcoming season.
