AS Monaco suffered a friendly defeat against Inter Milan, the final score being 1-2. The game, played at the Stade Louis-II, got off to a good start for Monaco with a goal from Akliouche in the second minute. The Monegasque team even enjoyed numerical superiority following the expulsion of an Inter player. However, despite one less player, Inter Milan managed to equalize and take the lead with an Angel-Yoan Bonny goal in the 80th minute. Maghneis Akliouche’s attempt to equalize unfortunately hit the amounts, thus concluding the summer preparation of AS Monaco on a negative note.

This friendly meeting also marked the arrival of a new player in the club. AS Monaco formalized the arrival of Lukas Hradecky, a 35-year-old Finnish goaltender from Bayer Leverkusen. The transfer is estimated at 4 million euros including bonuses. Hradecky signed a two-year contract, renewable for a third year, confirming his number one role for the 2025-2026 season. His experience and rankings, including 100 national team selections, are considered a major asset to the club.

After this defeat, AS Monaco prepares to face Havre AC on the first day of Ligue 1. Coach Hütter will have to correct the shot and strengthen the team to tackle this competition. The starting composition for the next game will include Hradecky as goaltender, as well as Vanderson, Singo, Kherer, Caio Henrique, Akliouche, Zakaria, Camara, Ben Seghiir, Biereth and Ilenikhena. The arrival of Hradecky, combined with the preparation of the rest of the team, represents a hope for a better season.
