AS Monaco has demonstrated its strength on the European stage by winning the Otten Cup 2025, a prestigious tournament historically dominated by renowned clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Ajax Amsterdam and Inter Milan. This victory testifies to the quality of the Monegasque training centre, capable of producing talents like Kylian Mbappé and Magnes Akliouche, and suggests that the 2007 generation is particularly promising. The U19 team brilliantly realized this potential by imposing itself in this competition, overcoming formidable opponents such as Chelsea, PSV Eindhoven and Atlético Madrid.

Denis Zakaria’s future at AS Monaco is uncertain after the collapse of a transfer agreement with Al Ahly’s Saudi club. Initially planned at €45 million, the transfer encountered obstacles related to team settlements with a limited number of non-Asian players. This situation is a relief for the Monegasque supporters, who expressed their concern about the departure of their captain. The club had already considered a replacement, Hicham Boudaoui, but this transfer does not seem to materialize.

Joël Leroy, an iconic and passionate figure of AS Monaco for over 60 years, embodies the unwavering spirit of the club’s supporters. His story, begun at the age of 8, illustrates a deep and constant attachment to the team, marked by trips outside at a time when Monegasque support was scarce. He has become a recognized figure in the world of French football, and his commitment translates into an impressive collection of objects related to the club. Joël even had the opportunity to build friendships with legendary players, such as Jean-Luc Ettori, demonstrating his place at the heart of AS Monaco’s history.
