AS Monaco Football Club has officially announced the signing of French midfielder Paul Pogba. The former Manchester United and Juventus star will sign with the team until 2027.

This two-year contract not only marks a new starting point for Pogba's career, but also announces that he has officially ended his low period after the doping scandal and returned to the mainstream European arena.

Pogba, 32, was very emotional on the day of signing the contract and even shed tears. He expressed his gratitude to the outside world in the official announcement video: "Thank you for your trust." At the end of the video, he wrote "La renaissance (rebirth)", indicating that he is ready to start a new chapter in his career.

Pogba was tested for drugs after playing for Juventus in the first round of Serie A at the beginning of the 2023-24 season. He was temporarily banned due to abnormal test results and was eventually sentenced to a four-year ban. However, in the subsequent appeal, the punishment was significantly reduced to 18 months in October 2024, allowing Pogba to return this season.

Pogba, who made his debut in the youth training of Le Havre in France, has played for Manchester United and Juventus successively, and won many honors at the club level, including 4 Serie A titles, the Europa League championship and multiple cup trophies.

As for the national team, Pogba was one of the contributors to the 2018 World Cup victory. He also won the U20 World Cup and the 2021 UEFA Nations League. He has played 91 games for France and scored 11 goals so far.

Now, Pogba has chosen to return to the French arena and play for Monaco in Ligue 1 for the first time. This is not only a transfer, but also a declaration of self-belief and persistence. After experiencing injuries and turmoil, he is standing on the familiar green field again as a "reborn".
