Monaco CEO Opens Door for Paul Pogba Exit After Disappointing Season
Monaco chief executive Thiago Scuro told Get French Football News on July 9, 2026 that France World Cup winner Paul Pogba could leave the Ligue 1 club after a disappointing season, admitting the project with the midfielder did not work out while praising his positive influence on young players. Scuro said, "Maybe he will leave, maybe he will stay. It is a very complicated issue. We have a lot of respect for him as a person first and foremost. When he arrived here, he was very positive; he helped the young players. But the truth is also that the project [with him] didn’t work well last season."
For Nigerian football fans, Pogba’s potential exit signals Monaco’s intention to reshape its squad, which could shift transfer market dynamics in Ligue 1 and create openings for other African players looking to break into the French top flight. It also underscores how high‑profile signings sometimes fail to deliver expected returns, a scenario relevant to Nigerian talents eyeing European clubs.
While the situation remains fluid, supporters should watch Monaco’s official channels for any official announcement. The club’s upcoming transfer activity may influence which players are targeted or released, offering clues about future opportunities for African prospects in France.
