Paul Pogba nears homecoming with Monaco confident of wrapping up quick deals for ex-Man Utd midfielder and Barcelona outcast Ansu Fati

Monaco are eager to lock-in the arrival of Fati and are confident of having the deal finalised soon, Sport reports. They will then push to have Pogba unveiled as a Monaco player, which could possibly happen in the next week. The 32-year-old midfielder has been a free agent since the end of last year and is now eligible to play again.

The French club have reportedly tabled a two-year contract, with the promise of Champions League football and a pivotal role in the squad. Pogba’s move isn’t just about club football, it’s a lifeline to revive his international career. Determined to feature for France at the 2026 World Cup, Pogba is focused on joining a competitive European team, ruling out moves to Saudi Pro League or MLS.

The 2018 World Cup winner hasn’t played a match since 2022 due to an 18-month doping suspension, but a potential move to Ligue 1 could be on the cards with Monaco, who will be in the Champions League next season and thus have increased pull. Meanwhile, Monaco also believe they will soon land Fati, who was once seen as Lionel Messi’s heir at Barcelona before a string of injury setbacks stalled his progress.

With Fati’s signing in the works, Le Rocher will soon turn their focus to Pogba. The move may offer the platform he needs to reignite his career and push for a national team return.
