Scuro emphasized the importance of being realistic about Pogba's fitness level, given that he has been away from the sport for a long time. "High-level sport is a lot about science, and it's not easy," he said. "Monaco is one of the most intense teams in Ligue 1, and we play a style that requires our players to be fit."

Pogba's potential debut for Monaco is now expected to be in early October, as the club brings him up to full speed after his prolonged break from training and competition. This decision represents a bold sporting gamble for Monaco, as Pogba's return at 32 years old may not be easy, especially considering the team's high-intensity playing style.

Despite the challenges, Pogba's arrival brings a mix of youth and experience to the team, which is an exciting prospect for Monaco. The Frenchman joins other high-profile signings, including Eric Dier and Ansu Fati, in what promises to be a thrilling season for the club.
