At 33, Paul Pogba does not intend to put his crampons away. Free from any contract since the termination of his lease with AS Monaco last August, the 2018 world champion is desperately looking for an opportunity to relaunch a professional career heavily hampered by the hardships suffered in recent years.
His time on the Rock, which was to seal his big return to the field after a long suspension for doping and his departure from Juventus Turin, quickly turned into a fiasco. Weakened by constant physical injuries, the midfielder was only able to take part in six small matches in the Monegasque jersey – for only one start -, pushing him to prematurely cut short his Monegasque adventure initially planned for two years.
While the question of his sporting retirement could have arisen, the player has absolutely not given up on continuing his professional career. Favoring a new challenge far from Europe and abandoning the track leading to Saudi Arabia, the French international now seems to be turning towards the American continent. According to Daily Mal, Major League Soccer (MLS) is now establishing itself as the most credible destination to welcome the former Red Devil.
No concrete offer at the moment
Since August, his entourage has taken the lead by offering its services to several North American franchises. In the past, informal exchanges had already taken place with DC United, while rumors have regularly associated him with New York City FC or even Inter Miami, where Lionel Messi plays under the leadership of David Beckham.
However, despite these multiple contacts and the obvious interest of several players in the American market, no concrete negotiations or firm offers have yet materialized. The future of the French environment therefore remains in suspense for the moment, awaiting a solid project capable of offering it the playing time and serenity necessary to finally reinvent itself.
