Former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder is reportedly in advanced talks to join Ligue 1 side Monaco and has been offered a two-year deal by Les Monegasques.
The 2018 World Cup winner is bidding to reignite his career following an 18-month doping suspension, which spelled the end of his short-lived second spell at Juventus.
Pogba was initially slapped with a four-year suspension, which could have curtailed his career completely, but it was reduced to 18 months following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The 32-year-old has been free to return to competitive action since March, and a multitude of clubs both in Europe and abroad have been tipped to offer him a new stomping ground.
Shock reports emerged in December claiming that Manchester City were weighing up an approach for Pogba, although the midfielder had reservations about an Etihad switch due to his Man United connections.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, ‘new contacts’ have taken place in recent days, with talks now progressing as Pogba is ‘ready for a new experience’.
Fabrizio Romano adds that Monaco have officially offered Pogba a two-year deal and that negotiations over the wider sporting project are continuing this weekend. While a full agreement has not yet been reached, the Ligue 1 side are optimistic.
Romano wrote on X: “AS Monaco have offered a two year contract to Paul Pogba with talks underway. Negotiations and discussions over project continue this weekend to try reach an agreement.
“Monaco are working on both Ansu Fati and Paul Pogba deals.”
Pogba’s last competitive appearance came in September 2023, shortly before he was found to have abnormal levels of testosterone, although the CAS ruled that the supplement responsible did not lead to elevated levels of performance in males.
Pogba has won 14 major honours across his club and international career, but he has not made an appearance for the France national team since March 2022.
