Fresh start or beginning of the end: Monaco set to offload Pogba

Despite hoping to revive his career at Monaco, Paul Pogba is heading towards the Stade Louis II exit after only a single season and 115 minutes on the pitch!Due to persistent ankle and calf injuries, the midfielder made only six appearances for the Ligue 1 club, playing his last match on May 2 against Metz.Given his vast experience, Pogba was expected to be a sort of mentor to one of the league’s youngest squads.
