Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro has opened up on Paul Pogba's future with the Ligue 1 side as he continues to struggle.

Pogba, 32, joined Monaco as a free agent last summer having served his 18-month ban for doping, signing a two-year contract.

He has since featured for just 30 minutes across three substitute appearances and doesn’t look likely to return to full fitness any time soon.

Speaking to TalkSPORT, Monaco CEO Scuro has now opened up on Pogba’s future with the club.

“Paul, first of all, was about performance. It is about performance, the first step,” he said.

“Paul is a very talented player with a different tier than we are used to having in Ligue 1. He's coming back from two years without playing - We knew that the challenge to bring him back would be high.

“Of course he brings also an impact in terms of visibility to the league, to AS Monaco, commercial revenues, all of this. 

“But as we all know, the player must be on the pitch performing for everything to work well. At the end, we started this process in the summer with a very high expectation.”
