Monaco said injuries limited the 33-year-old World Cup winner to six Ligue 1 matches and only 115 minutes last season.
- On Wednesday, Monaco announced they will release midfielder Paul Pogba, stating that the objectives set for the player were "only partially achieved" and ending a contract that would have run until June 2027.

- Monaco paid tribute to Pogba's "remarkable mindset, determination and unwavering high standards" and his influence by "sharing his experience and know-how." Pogba thanked his "president, management, teammates, all the staff as well as all the supporters who believed."
- Before his recent struggles, Pogba made 233 appearances for Manchester United and won four Italian titles with Juventus. He also helped France win the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
