Paul Pogba is expected to leave Monaco amid talks over a possible contract termination.
The former World Cup winner joined the Ligue 1 side last summer after he was permitted to return to professional football after a doping suspension.
Pogba signed a two year deal, which was due to run until the end of the forthcoming season.
But a source has told the BBC discussions over an early exit are under way and are expected to be concluded soon.
Monaco have not yet commented on the situation.
Pogba’s first season at Monaco was disrupted by injury but there was hope this season would see the France international play regularly.
But a change in manager, after Filipe Luis replaced Sebastien Pocognoli, could see Monaco head in a different direction in central midfield.
Pogba was provisionally banned from football for four years after a positive test for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in February 2024, following a doping test in August 2023.
Pogba maintained it was a mistake and that he was given a supplement without knowing it contained a banned substance.
The France international, a 2018 World Cup winner, was permitted to return to football in March 2025 following the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s decision to reduce his ban to 18 months.
