Ex-Juventus star Pogba in Monaco talks, Walker towards Fenerbahce after Milan | OneFootball

Former Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is in advanced negotiations to join AS Monaco, while Kyle Walker could go from Milan to Fenerbahce.

The transfer market does not officially open for teams outside the Club World Cup until July 1, but that does not apply to free agents.

Pogba is now able to resume his playing career after a ban for failing a doping test while he was at Juventus in September 2023.

He terminated his contract with the club by mutual consent and is now seeking his next adventure.

According to Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio, talks with AS Monaco are progressing well, though it remains to be seen if this is the destination that the France international will accept.

He hardly ever played in France, leaving Le Havre for the Manchester United youth academy in 2009 and then joining Juventus for free in 2012.

Meanwhile, another former Serie A player is on the move again, as Milan did not try to purchase Walker outright from Manchester City following a six-month loan.

Now reports in Turkey suggest he is in negotiations with Fenerbahce and has asked for a two-year contract to work with Jose Mourinho.

The 35-year-old right-back made 16 competitive appearances for the Rossoneri this season.
