This Sunday evening, OM welcomes AS Monaco. On the Monegasque side, one of the main dangers will be Eliesse Ben Seghir. At 19 years old, the Moroccan crack could however have been in the opposing camp for this meeting. Indeed, before signing with ASM, Ben Seghir was very close to signing up with OM. This ultimately did not happen and the main person concerned returned to this event.

There will be talent this Sunday evening on the lawn of the Vélodrome during the meeting between OM andAS Monaco. Certain gazes will be focused in particular towards a certain Eliesse Ben Seghir.

“It was really done”

Pour Téléfoot, Eliesse Ben Seghir returned to his aborted signature with theABOUT. The player of theAS Monaco then said about this: “ OM? Before joining AS Monaco, it was the club where I was closest to signing. It was really done, I was on the verge of signing there. What happened? 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 ».

An offer impossible to refuse from AS Monaco

We then learned that in December 2019, the club was the only club interested in having him sign a non-solicitation agreement. “ We gathered his entourage in the middle of the week. When we left the meeting, everyone was upset. We were sure he was going to sign. We give them the weekend to bring us the documents “, recalled Sébastien Perezthen in charge of signing Ben Seghir at theABOUT. But then it all exploded a few days later when theAS Monaco made an offer impossible to refuse and the Marseille club therefore saw the phenomenon pass under their noses.
