Forced to deal without Folarin Balogun, Adi Hütter would like Monaco to recruit an attacker during the winter transfer window. Unless the Austrian trusts a young person from the training center.
Committed on all fronts, Monaco is still far from having finished its 2024 year. Indeed, after its defeat on the Arsenal pitch (0-3), during the 6th day of the Champions League, the Principality club will now play three matches in a few days. Starting with Reims this Saturday evening (9 p.m.), before challenging Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday (an advanced match on the 16th day of Ligue 1 due to the Champions Trophy at the start of January) and finally Union Saint-Jean (R1 ) on December 22, during the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. Unfortunately for him, Adi Hütter will not be able to count on Folarin Balogun for these meetings. Back after dislocating his left shoulder, the American striker was injured again in this area and will have surgery “in the coming days” and should therefore be absent “around three months”according to the Austrian coach.
A loan this winter or fhave confidence in Tincres ?
For the latter, it therefore seems “necessary to talk about a new attacker” for Monaco. “It’s certain that we won’t spend too much on a big transfer. I'm not sure if we can buy someone. I think it makes more sense to take a player on loan. We will have discussions after this match. We have a few solutions but we have to find the right one,” explained Hütter at a press conference. Eager to strengthen himself during the winter transfer window, the Austrian could also decide to trust Joan Tincres (18 years old), author of 16 goals in 15 meetings with the club's young people this season. “ He has an opportunity, that's for sure.admitted Hütter on Friday. He had a very good start to the season. He scored a lot and he is an intelligent striker. It's certain that he can be part of the team (against Reims). When you only have two strikers, he's one of the ones who can make the team. »
