Eliesse Ben Seghir, a Moroccan attacker from AS Monaco, has been going through a difficult sporting period since the second half of last season. After a promising start to the season with 6 goals and 3 assists in Ligue 1, he experienced a notable slowdown, with no goals since February 18. This fall in form prompted him to reconsider his future at the club, especially since his current contract ran until 2027. Initially, Ben Seghir had planned a start this summer, but the management of AS Monaco wants to retain him and offer him a contract extension, considering that he is a key element for the future of the team.

The current situation reveals a disagreement between the player and the management of the club regarding the future of Ben Seghir. The young attacker would not be very inclined to extend his contract with his training club, while AS Monaco sees him as an essential player for his future projects. This divergence could lead to a tense negotiation during the summer mercato. Despite its recent difficulties, few clubs have shown a concrete interest in Ben Seghir, and few offers could satisfy AS Monaco requirements.

At the sporting level, Ben Seghir’s summer preparation was not most encouraging. He missed a penalty in a match against the Bruges Circle and posted a lack of precision against Coventry, despite the wide victory of AS Monaco (5-0). These recent performances fuel doubts about his future at the club and reinforce the management’s willingness to convince him to prolong his Monegasque adventure. The outcome of this negotiation will therefore remain uncertain, but it will have a significant impact on team composition for the coming season.
