Pogba is now able to resume his playing career after a ban for failing a doping test while he was at Juventus in September 2023.
He terminated his contract with the club by mutual consent and is now seeking his next adventure.

According to Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio, talks with AS Monaco are progressing well, though it remains to be seen if this is the destination that the France international will accept.
He hardly ever played in France, leaving Le Havre for the Manchester United youth academy in 2009 and then joining Juventus for free in 2012.

Bayern hope new Musiala injury not serious after last 16 reached
Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany and Jamal Musiala stand together after the FIFA Club World Cup Group C soccer match between Bayern Munich and Boca Juniors at the Hard Rock Stadium. Sven Hoppe/dpa Bayern Munich are once again fretting over star playmaker Jamal Musiala, who limped off in the 2-1 Club World Cup win over Boca Juniors on Friday. Bayern's progression to the last 16 was marred by the Germany international, who had only just returned from a hamstring problem, going off with an apparent calf injury. Advertisement The 22-year-old came on as a second-half substitute but only lasted 25 minutes. "I definitely want to speak to the doctors first," coach Vincent Kompany told reporters. "We're flying to Orlando first and then we will know more." Kompany said he spoke briefly with Musiala after the match. "I hope it's nothing serious," the coach said, adding that he was "reasonably relaxed, although I don't know what the doctors will say." After the final whistle, Musiala still joined his team-mates in celebrating with the Bayern fans in the stands. Musiala had been sidelined for two months ahead of the Club World Cup. Advertisement Following his spectacular three-goal comeback as a substitute in the 10-0 win against Auckland City, he was supposed to gain more match practice against Boca Juniors to be ready for the starting line-up in the knockout phase. This plan now looks in jeopardy. Bayern face second-placed Benfica in the final group stage match in Charlotte on Tuesday to determine the Group C winner.

Club World Cup: Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds – probable line-ups and where to watch on TV Francesco Pio Esposito is expected to start in the Inter attack against Urawa Red Diamonds in the second match of the 2025 Club World Cup. CLICK HERE TO WATCH INTER VS URAWA REDS LIVE It kicks off on Saturday, June 21, at 12:00 local time (21:00 CET) at the Lumen Field in Seattle. Advertisement The Nerazzurri must cope without Yann Bisseck, Hakan Calhanoglu, Denzel Dumfries, Davide Frattesi, Marcus Thuram and Piotr Zielinski. PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Sergio Ramos of CF Monterrey rises to head the first goal during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between CF Monterrey and FC Internazionale Milano at Rose Bowl Stadium on June 17, 2025 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by) Cristian Chivu's men were held to a 1-1 draw by Mexican side Monterrey in their opening Club World Cup game earlier this week. Italian sources, including Tuttosport and Gazzetta, claim that Stefan de Vrij will get the nod in central defence, replacing Francesco Acerbi, while Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni are confirmed in a three-man defence. Federico Dimarco and Carlos Augusto battle for a starting spot on the left flank and the same is true of Nicola Zalewski and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the middle of the park. Advertisement If Zalewski starts, then the Inter line-up will likely be a 3-4-2-1 formation with the Poland international joining Pio Esposito behind the lone striker Lautaro Martinez. Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds – where to watch on TV The best way to live stream the Club World Cup is with DAZN, which is offering a free service this summer, which can also be upgraded to a premium service. DAZN's free offer means ads during games, and no replays or extended highlights, but it's still a pretty tempting deal that will surely get Blues fans and others signing up quickly. Inter vs Urawa Red Diamonds – probable line-ups Inter (3-4-2-1): Sommer, Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Asllani, Dimarco (Carlos Augusto); Zalewski (Mkhitaryan), Pio Esposito; Lautaro. Urawa (4-2-3-1): Nishikawa, Ishiara, Boza, Hohibraten, Naganuma; Yasui, Gustafson; Kaneko, Watanabe, Savio; Matsuo.
