He arrived! While AS Monaco slowly takes the path of training, Paul Pogba was in the principality on Friday. Like Ansu Fati, the other future recruit of red and white, the 2018 world champion passed his medical examination, before signing his contract. The formalization of his arrival in Ligue 1 is imminent.
ASM has therefore succeeded, by offering itself one of the stars of French football. If it looks a lot like a bet, too, since the player remains on almost three years without match, it is a great performance from Monegasque leaders than to attract an element of such a profile.
Sportingly, Paul Pogba opted for a club that will once again compete in the Champions League. A fairly young training, overall, to whom the former player of Juventus and Manchester United must bring his great experience.
Pogba, a Monegasque (and not Parisian) salary
And financially? “If we will be careful not to say that the player has made major financial efforts to come, he also made a question of money”reveals the team. According to the daily, Pogba's salary “Will not be out of the wage grid” From AS Monaco, where the highest paid players have 320,000 euros gross per month (or 3.84 million euros per year).
At Juventus, during his last contract, Paul Pogba received around 667,000 euros monthly, or eight million euros in net salary (plus two million bonuses). He should touch less than half in Monaco, if we follow the indications of the team. It is both logical (there are uncertainties on his physical level) and significant (he could have claimed much more by signing in Saudi Arabia).
On arrival, and even if it would be necessary to know the amount of his premium at the signing, Paul Pogba will join the list of best paid players in Ligue 1 … if we exclude the workforce of Paris Saint-Germain. In the capital, another world in financial terms, holders mostly earn more than 10 million euros per year. Pogba will be very far from it.
