Paul Pogba targeting return to France team in time for 2026 World Cup
The 2018 World Cup winner is once more free to play football after his ban from the sport for doping charges was reduced from four years to 18 months. In January, the Frenchman was allowed to return to training, and then in March, he was allowed to play.

In November 2024, he agreed to mutually terminate his contract with Juventus. However, despite the ban coming to an end, he did not immediately return to club football and has instead opted to wait until after the 2024/25 season to join a new club. Recently, he has been linked with a move to Ligue 1 with AS Monaco reportedly close to agreeing a deal.
It would be the first time that Pogba has tasted the French top flight. Despite having spent time at the Le Havre AC academy, he was snapped up by Manchester United, where he would go on to make his professional debut.

Tigres' options in the transfer market
Tigres has had a very active transfer market, highlighting the incorporation of Ángel Correa, world champion with Argentina in 2022. However, they also explored the possibility of repatriating Guido Rodríguez, former América player and current West Ham midfielder. The club investigated the Argentine's situation with the English team, although it did not present a formal offer. According to international media, Rodríguez's intention is to stay in Europe, despite his little activity since the departure of Julen Lopetegui from the Hammers' bench. This is not the first time Tigres has shown interest in the midfielder, as in 2024 they sought him as a replacement for Rafael Carioca. However, Guido chose to renew his contract with the English club until 2027. In addition to Correa, Tigres has Honduran Joseph Rosales, left back of Minnesota United, in their sights to occupy the last foreign spot. They also plan to loan out Brazilian Romulo Swarg, recently signed, but with no intention of selling him yet. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
