Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro has hinted that Paul Pogba could leave the club ahead of the new Ligue 1 season. Pogba joined Monaco last June, signing a two-year deal following the end of his suspension for doping. The Frenchman missed a large chunk of the 2025-26 campaign due to issues with his fitness.

Sugar Ray fought relentlessly, took on leading contenders year after year, and finished with more than 200 professional fights. He built a resume so deep that generations later he is still considered by many historians to be the greatest boxer who ever lived. Modern boxing is different, but greatness shouldn’t come…
