Paul Pogba breaks down in tears as he signs a two-year contract with Monaco, marking his return to competitive football after a doping ban.

Paul Pogba was overcome with emotion as he signed a two-year contract with Monaco, marking his return to competitive football after a doping ban.

The 32-year-old midfielder broke down in tears as he put pen to paper, visibly moved by the moment. In a video announcing his signing, Pogba could be seen struggling to hold back tears as he said “thanks for the trust” to the Monaco team.

The emotional moment came after Pogba had faced a tumultuous period in his career, including a doping suspension that had threatened to derail his future.

However, with the support of his new club, Pogba seems determined to revive his career and prove himself once again. As he signed off his announcement video with the words “La renaissance” (The rebirth), it was clear that Pogba sees this new chapter as a chance to rediscover his form and reclaim his status as one of the world’s top midfielders.

Pogba’s return to football has been a long time coming, with the midfielder having been without a club since November last year when Juventus terminated his contract by mutual agreement.

The doping ban, which was initially four years but was later reduced to 18 months, had cast a shadow over his career. However, Pogba has now been given a fresh start with Monaco, and he will be eager to make the most of this opportunity.

The emotional signing ceremony was a testament to the significance of this moment for Pogba. As he embarks on this new chapter in his career, Pogba will be looking to regain his confidence and form, which had been interrupted by injuries and a lack of form in recent years. With Monaco’s support, he will aim to make a strong impact in the upcoming season and potentially even earn a return to the French national team.

As Pogba begins his journey with Monaco, he will be playing in Ligue 1 for the first time in his career. The France World Cup winner will be keen to prove himself in the French top flight and show that he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level.

With his talent and determination, Pogba has the potential to make a significant impact with Monaco and potentially even earn a spot in the French national team for the 2026 World Cup.
