Paul Pogba is aiming to return to football after serving a reduced doping ban. Speaking on French TV, the 32-year-old confirmed he's in talks with a club — reportedly Ligue 1 side Monaco — and is determined to return to the pitch mentally and physically stronger.
Pogba also revealed he has reconnected with his brother Mathias, who was convicted in a 2022 extortion plot against him. Despite the emotional scars, Pogba said they are now in contact and trying to move forward as a family.
The former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder described the last three years as extremely tough, citing injuries, form struggles, and his involvement in a shocking extortion case that saw six men — including his brother and childhood friends — convicted.
Held at gunpoint in 2022 and pressured for €13 million, Pogba initially considered paying but ultimately chose to speak out. He says the ordeal and doping ban have deeply changed him, leading to personal growth, stronger family bonds, and a renewed focus on the future.
