If AS Monaco strengthened quite a bit during the last summer transfer window with nearly 75 million euros spent, the Monegasque club still sold for a little more than 45 million euros.
In addition to these sales, there are also three player loans with interesting potential: Paris Brunner, Myron Boadu and Chrislain Matsima. It is the latter which is in the news today.
AS Monaco: Augsburg is very satisfied with Chrislain Matsima
Indeed, while he is on loan for the entire season to Augsburg, his performances are convincing the German club. Holder in the Bundesliga resident's last five matches, the 22-year-old French central defender seems to have earned his starting place.
Thus and according to information from Florian Plettenberg, FC Augsburg is very satisfied with the development of Chrislain Matsima. So much so that the German club is already planning to exercise its purchase option of 5 million euros next summer.
Nothing has been done but…
However, no final decision has yet been made. But if the player on loan from AS Monaco continues this momentum during the coming months of competition, his definitive purchase by Augsburg seems inevitable.
Especially since the purchase option set at 5 million euros is not excessive for a French U21 international, who is today valued at 7 million euros by Transfermarkt.
In any case, it would be a nice sale for AS Monaco, which has never really counted on Chrislain Matsima, although he trained at ASM.
Passionate about sport and from Toulouse, I am of course a supporter of the great TFC, which has more titles than OM and OL combined over the last ten years.
