Strengthened competition in attack
ASM will spend 13 million euros (plus two million bonuses) in the operation. The Austrian club, however, hoped for 20 at the start of negotiations for its 21-year-old center forward. This signing will allow Monaco to strengthen a sector where no one has really established themselves since the start of the season.
-“We need a striker. Our eyes are open,” explained Adi Hütter this week, who has to deal with the absence for several months of Folarin Balogun, injured in the left shoulder. With 4 goals scored since the start of the season, in 22 matches in all competitions, Breel Embolo is struggling to regain his best level. As for young George Ilenikhena (18 years old), who arrived last summer from Royal Antwerp, he is still learning.
Dominated last Sunday by PSG (1-0) during the Champions Trophy, Monaco meets this Friday in Nantes (7 p.m.), at the opening of the 17th day of Ligue 1.
