AS Monaco is experiencing significant movements in its workforce. Swiss striker Breel Embolo leaves the club to join Stade Rennais FC in a transfer estimated at 15 million euros. After eight seasons spent wearing Monegasque colours, where he scored 22 goals and delivered 13 assists, Embolo joined the Breton club for four years. At the same time, AS Monaco joined forces with the young Danish attacker Ekene Chukwuani, 16 years old and from the Brondby reserve team. This transfer, estimated at around EUR 2 million, is carried out on a three-year contract.

At the sporting level, the Monegasque team won its last match against RC Strasbourg Alsace (3-2), an unexpected success after two disappointing performances. This victory, made possible by decisive actions by Magnes Akliouche and Takumi Minamino, is a welcome boost for the morale of the team. Despite a mixed start to the season, with a score of six points in three days, AS Monaco remains on the path of qualifying for the Champions League, an ambition it has been pursuing for several seasons. Coach Adi Hütter, although criticized in the past, has been able to keep the team in line with management goals.

The international truce promises to be a major challenge, including the trip to Madrid to face Real Madrid during the hen phase of the Champions League. Monegasque fans are looking forward to Jordan Tze’s performance, whose recent performance suggests a potential to be confirmed. This rest period is also an occasion for a poignant tribute to Abdallah Mejdadi-Liégeon, former player of AS Monaco and Strasbourg, who died recently. Its track, marked by 136 matches, 5 goals and 3 titles of champion, is a testament to a rich career and a lasting attachment to football.
