When Monaco calls you, it's very difficult to refuse. My family also had a big impact on this choice. As of today, I don’t regret it at all and I’m very happy with it.”
“Everyone had a banana. We were sure he was going to sign”
Committed to enabling theABOUT to record the signature ofEliesse Ben Seghir, Sébastien Pérez surrendered to Provence through an interview published in the columns of last Saturday's newspaper on this failure for the Marseille club at the end of 2019.

We give them the weekend to bring us the documents.” However, theAS Monaco had invited herself to the party in the meantime, completely changing the outcome of this operation to the great displeasure of theMarseille Olympic.
