The transfer of Soungoutou Magassa, midfield defensive of AS Monaco, is currently uncertain. After a promising 2024-2025 season, several European clubs, including West Ham and Nottingham Forest, showed interest in the 21-year-old. West Ham seemed to have concluded the deal with an offer of 17 million euros, but the Eintracht Frankfurt is now trying to block the transfer by offering a loan with option to purchase in Monaco. This situation creates a palpable expectation among Monegasque supporters until the end of the mercato.

At the same time, Maghnés Akliouche, an offensive midfielder of AS Monaco, was summoned for the first time as a team from France by Didier Deschamps for the World Cup qualifications 2026. The breeder highlighted Akliouche’s technical qualities and its potential to improve efficiency. This first convocation is a recognition of the young player’s progress within the Monegasque club.

AS Monaco prepares to face Strasbourg for the third day of Ligue 1. This match is crucial for the club, which must compensate for its recent defeat against Lille. Strasbourg, owned by Chelsea, has achieved a particularly expensive mercato, considerably increasing its workforce. The Monegasque team showed tactical weaknesses in its first two games, and this meeting could have a significant impact on the start of the season. A positive result is therefore imperative to maintain a positive dynamic.
