Al-Ittihad, Monaco Vie for Free Agent Midfielder Pogba

Paul Pogba, who recently completed an 18-month doping ban and is currently a free agent, is attracting interest from multiple clubs as he plans his return to professional football. Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad has expressed significant interest in signing the midfielder and has initiated preliminary talks, hoping to reunite him with teammates N’Golo Kanté and Karim Benzema. However, Al-Ittihad's current lack of a sporting director has delayed formal offers, and uncertainties about the club’s leadership are complicating negotiations. Meanwhile, Ligue 1 side AS Monaco is also in ongoing discussions with Pogba, who is reportedly open to a move there but remains undecided, partly due to the competitive situation with Al-Ittihad. No Premier League clubs are actively pursuing Pogba, and he is focused on returning to top form with an eye on making France's 2026 World Cup squad. Pogba’s next move remains uncertain but is highly anticipated, with both Monaco and Al-Ittihad vying for his signature.
