Financial numbers behind Paul Pogba transfer to AS Monaco

Paul Pogba has agreed personal terms to join AS Monaco for a 2-year (2025/27) contract and the motive behind the move on Pogba's part is a bid to get selected for 2026 World Cup squad. Pogba apparently had couple of highly lucrative offers from Saudi league however he resisted the temptation of money and hoping to stay in competitive league where a good season will surely put him in contention for World Cup squad.

Paul Pogba agreed to lower his salary demands to join Monaco which on paper is amazing move for both player and the club. He reportedly signed €4.5 million a-year (gross) salary contract which will make him highest paid player in Monaco squad. He has not played competitive football for around 2 years since his 4 year doping ban which was later reduced to 18-months. He and Juventus mutually terminated his contract allowing him to join any other club since March 2025.

Paul Pogba Salary History:

Paul Pogba during his second premier league stint as United was one of the highest paid players in the league. However since his move back to Juventus things have not worked out for him both on and off the field. Pogba was on €10.2 million a-year (gross) salary at Juventus before he was banned. Juventus only paid €2,000 a-month to Pogba during the doping case and once he was banned Juventus were free to terminate his contract. We breakdown Paul Pogba's entire career so far and list each of his professional contracts so far.

Paul Pogba in general has done very well financially having signed lucrative deals with both United and Juventus over the years. However except couple of seasons, he failed to justify the price tag and salaries he was on. That was one of the reason Graeme Souness went after him with all he got.
