Paul Pogba, a 33-year-old French midfielder, has become a free agent after mutually terminating his contract with AS Monaco, which was due to expire in June 2027. Charlotte FC has emerged as one of the options to sign him and make him one of their main acquisitions in this MLS transfer window.

This departure marks the end of a brief stint in French football. Pogba joined Monaco in June 2025 on a two-year contract, but his playing time was limited due to physical issues, featuring in only six matches for 115 minutes during the 2025/26 season.

Paul Pogba terminates his contract with Monaco

Paul Pogba and the Monegasque club have decided to part ways before the new season officially begins. Although the player had one year left on his contract, both parties chose to terminate the agreement early following a campaign marred by his lack of continuity.

The Frenchman only managed to feature in six matches, starting once. His comeback to competition came after over two years marked by a doping ban and subsequent injuries.

Physical issues resurfaced this summer as Pogba is currently recovering from a thigh injury after overcoming previous knee discomfort, factors that influenced Monaco's decision.

Nevertheless, his departure allows him to negotiate freely with any team. Being a free agent, Pogba's next club will not incur a transfer fee, needing only to agree on salary, contract duration, and potential bonuses.

Charlotte FC comes into the picture

Charlotte FC is closely monitoring the midfielder's situation, positioning itself as a potential destination to bring Pogba to the United States. The North Carolina-based team already made a significant signing this summer by acquiring Allan Saint-Maximin, a 29-year-old designated player until the 2028/29 season.

Pogba would add another European-experienced player to a squad aiming to enhance its competitive edge. The Frenchman has previously played for Manchester United, Juventus, and Monaco, while also winning the 2018 World Cup with France.

His career includes one of the highest transfers of his generation. Manchester United paid around 105 million euros to bring him back from Juventus in 2016, before he left Old Trafford as a free agent six years later.

MLS, a pathway to revive his career

The immediate priority will be assessing his physical condition. Pogba still needs to fully recover from his recent muscular issues before being able to embark on a new competitive phase consistently.

As a free agent, discussions can continue without the usual club-to-club transfer timelines. For Charlotte, the main negotiation will revolve around the player's contractual terms.

The next steps hinge on these talks. Paul Pogba is now free after parting ways with Monaco, and Charlotte FC emerges as a candidate to bring the 2018 World Cup champion to the MLS.
