Paul Pogba, about to join AS Monaco, arrived at Nice airport this Thursday.

The wait will soon be over for AS Monaco fans. Paul Pogba is expected to become a member of their beloved club in the coming hours, as expected.

The 2018 world champion landed in Nice this Thursday evening. An ASM vehicle was waiting for him as he exited the business terminal to take him to his hotel so he could rest.

The midfielder traveled from Miami, where he resides, with a stopover in Paris. He will begin his medical this Friday. If the tests are conclusive, he will sign a two-year contract with the Principality club.

He hasn't played for almost two years

Victim of an extortion attempt by childhood friends in which his brother Mathias was implicated, plagued by injuries and hampered by an eighteen-month doping ban, "La Pioche" has not played for nearly two years. His last appearance as a professional footballer was on September 3, 2023, in a Serie A match with Juventus Turin.

By joining the French league, which he will debut at the age of 32, the international midfielder (91 caps) hopes to relaunch his career. He is particularly aiming for a return to the French national team to participate in the World Cup next summer. He has not worn the French jersey since March 2022.
