AS Monaco is actively involved in several transfers, with strong interest from AS Roma for Breel Embolo, although the player prefers an Italian signature. Stade Rennais also wanted to recruit Embolo, but the Monegasque club did not intend to yield it easily. At the same time, Monaco refused a โฌ27 million offer from Stuttgart for George Ilenikhena, a promising young attacker. Despite the departure of Eliesse Ben Seghiir, the club retains a pool of talents and aspires to a project combining experience and youth. Embolo does not exclude a transfer to Saudi Arabia, but the interest of AS Roma is currently hampered by the need to release an attacker position.
The match against Strasbourg was a tight (3-2) victory for Monaco, marked by moments of defensive fragility and costly mistakes. Despite a good start and missed opportunities, the team almost conceded the game, but finally managed to make it through a Minamino goal at the end of the game. Individual performance was mixed: F. Balogun was particularly successful, while Mr. Biereth had difficulties. L. Camara showed fine qualities, and L. Hradecky ensured a solid job as guardian.
Coach Luis Enrique is questioned about his ability to correct the team’s persistent weaknesses, particularly in terms of collective play and resource management during games. The victory against Strasbourg, though precious, is not enough to dispel doubts about the future of the club. The return of a trusted attacker could be a key factor for the coming season. The presence of players such as Dilane Bakwa, who dominated the first half, demonstrates the team’s potential, but improvements are still needed to ensure steady progress.
