Pogba’s Move Called a ‘Wildcard’ Bet by Monaco Given His Long Absence
Return seen as high‑risk but potentially high‑reward by club observers
Monaco signed Paul Pogba as a calculated gamble, with observers dubbing the move a ‘wildcard’ due to the midfielder’s long absence from football and uncertain fitness levels.
The club reportedly believes it can afford to be patient while he re‑finds his rhythm in Ligue 1, leveraging his talent and experience to raise team standards.
Pogba reportedly made the emotional decision after rejecting higher‑paying offers, and is expected to play a mentoring role among Monaco’s younger midfielders during his rehabilitation period.
