After a two-year absence, Paul Pogba vows to return stronger than ever. Now with Monaco, he says France will see the "great Paul Pogba" again, but patience will be key.
Paul Pogba is ready to relaunch his career after a turbulent two-year spell marked by injury and suspension. Now 32, the former World Cup winner has joined Monaco and says he’s more determined than ever to show France his true self.
The French midfielder has not played in a club match on home soil since the start of his professional career, and his Ligue 1 debut with Monaco is expected to be one of the season’s most followed comeback stories.
Pogba admits he has a long road ahead: “It will take time to get back into top shape, but my desire is greater than ever. I hope to be even better than before. I’m still the same Paul Pogba—just more determined. You will see a determined Paul Pogba.”
The Juventus star, who last played competitive football in early 2023, is now fully focused on rebuilding his career. His comeback follows a suspension for a doping violation that left him sidelined for over a year, on top of a recurring injury crisis.
Monaco sporting director Thiago Scuro emphasized that the club is taking a cautious approach: “We are convinced that Paul can bring us a lot, but we expect he’ll need another three months to reach full fitness.”
With patience and time, Pogba could prove to be one of the most exciting redemption stories in recent French football. Whether he returns to his peak form or reinvents himself in a new role, Pogba’s next chapter is underway—and all eyes will be on him.
