AS Monaco wants to downsize the squad, lower the wage bill, and generate funds starting this winter. French central midfielder Paul Pogba, 32, is mentioned as one of the expensive players under contract at Monaco whose performance does not always match his high salary; in the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season, he has made 3 appearances with no goals or assists. The midfielder, who has 91 caps and 11 goals for France, has a current market value of €5.00m according to Transfermarkt and has been linked with Santos.
