AS Monaco is actively continuing to strengthen its workforce during this summer mercato. Following the recent acquisitions of Eric Dier, Paul Pogba and Ansu Fati, the Monegasque club formalized the signature of Omar Konaté, an 18-year-old attacker. From the Sol FC d’Abobo, his training club in Côte d’Ivoire, Konaté has already proved its worth in the first Ivorian division, notably during the tournament Maurice-Revello 2024 where he contributed to the final with the U20 national team. This participation probably attracted the attention of Monegasque recruiters, who had already observed the young talent in a trial in February, where he scored a goal in a match against Bordeaux.

The recruitment of Omar Konaté is part of AS Monaco’s strategy to consolidate its Elite Group. The attacker, able to move to different offensive positions, will join the team under the direction of Djimi Traoré. This signature is all the more significant as it makes Konaté the thirteenth player from Côte d’Ivoire to evolve within AS Monaco, testifying to the club’s openness to African talent. Its gradual integration into the professional team could pave the way for appearances with the Adi Hutter group, thus providing a promising perspective for the future.

In summary, AS Monaco strengthened its Elite Group with the signature of Omar Konaté, a talented young attacker from Côte d’Ivoire. His passage through the Maurice-Revello tournament and a successful essay in February confirmed his potential, attracting the attention of the Monegasque club. This acquisition is part of a policy of developing African talent and offers Konaté an opportunity to advance in a leading club, while enriching the staff of AS Monaco.
