We can say that Monaco is taking a big risk. I think it is a risk to transfer a player who has been away from football for a long time, but we can say that Monaco is showing its trust in Pogba by taking the risk. If he has reached an agreement with Monaco, he has full confidence. Also, it seems that he has at least 1-2 more years to go to Saudi Arabia. A big fight is starting for Paul Pogba. I hope he can show us something from his old days in his new season.
I don't see Monaco's decision to sign Pogba as a new player is a big risk. I know he has been left from football for a few years, but don't forget they sign him as free agent. He also accepts salary cut to join in Monaco as well.
It's a win - win solutions for both of parties.
Of course it is because many big teams are hesitant to sign a player who hasn't played football for a long time. If Monaco is going to sign the French player, of course Pogba will have to give up some things. For example, he shouldn't have a high salary expectation. He will want to prove himself in France, and frankly, he will be the player that will be most watched out for in France this year if he is officially transferred by Monaco.
