French international Paul Pogba and AS Monaco ⁠have agreed to part ways by mutual consent after one ‌season, the Ligue 1 club said on Wednesday.

Pogba, ‌whose contract was due to ‌run until June 2027, has struggled ‌to re-establish himself since returning from ‌a doping ban that kept him out of action for more than ‌two years.

Monaco said they had ⁠reached an ‌agreement with the 33-year-old midfielder after determining ​that the objectives outlined when he joined the club ​had not been fully achieved.

"I would like to thank the President and ⁠the management, ​my teammates, all the staff and all the fans who believed in me. Representing this Club and the ‌Principality was an incredible experience," Pogba said in a statement.

"AS Monaco is an exceptional club and, even if I haven't played as many games as I hoped, I will always remain grateful to have had the opportunity to wear ‌its colours. Daghe Munegu!"

The 2018 World ​Cup winner made only six appearances ‌for Monaco, including one start.

Pogba, the former Manchester United and Juventus player, is currently recovering from a thigh injury after recently ⁠returning from ⁠a knee problem.
