Following the convincing victory of his team against Coventry City (5-0) in the second prep game, Adi Hutter, the AS Monaco coach, stressed the need to reduce the current strength. With a staff of 32 players, the club prepares for a period of departures in order to concentrate its efforts on a more compact and efficient professional group. Hutter made it clear that he would not oppose the departures of key players, a decision that aims to optimize team composition for the coming season.

According to information relayed by Nice Morning, several players could leave the club. Among them, Mohammed Salisu, Caio Henrique and Eliesse Ben Seghir are considered potential targets. The departure of Mohammed Salisu, a Ghanaian international central defender recruited in 2023, is no surprise given his low playing time since the beginning of February. Despite 24 games and 3 goals last season, he had very few opportunities on the field.

The departures of Caio Henrique, Brazilian international, and Eliesse Ben Seghir, Moroccan international and bronze medallist at the Paris 2024 Olympics seem more surprising. According to L’Équipe, sports director Thiago Scuro tried to convince Ben Seghir to stay, but he was considering a start because of a tense relationship with the coach and a lack of clear perspectives within the club. This situation could therefore lead to a significant restructuring of the Monaco workforce.
