Monaco mercato and preparation for the match against Strasbourg

AS Monaco experienced intense activity during the summer mercato, marked by significant arrivals and departures. The club formalized the definitive transfer of Myron Boadu to the Eindhoven PSV, after two seasons spent on loan. The Dutch striker, who arrived in Monaco in 2021, played 68 games, scoring 10 goals and delivering 2 assists. His departure represents a loss for the Monegasque attack, but the club will receive a sum of 500,000 euros out of the bonus of this transaction. At the same time, Monaco increased its strength with the arrival of Stanis Idumbo, a 20-year-old offensive midfielder from Seville FC. The Belgian player signed a five-year contract and will bear number 17, bringing a dynamic and complementary profile to the red and white attack.

In view of the third day of Ligue 1, coach Adolf Hรผtter appointed a group of 21 players for the home match against RC Strasbourg Alsace. This list includes key players like Vanderson, despite his left calf injury, and excludes Breel Embolo, pending start. The absence of Maghnes Akliouche from this list has generated reactions, some pointing to the lack of progress of the young player, while others consider his selection as a surprise. The match against Strasbourg, which will take place on Sunday at 5.15 p.m. at the Stade Louis-II, represents an important challenge for Monaco, which seeks to confirm its ambitions for the season.

These player movements are part of a reorganisation of the Monegasque workforce. The arrival of Idumbo is seen as an attempt to fill a previously missing position, potentially replacing Ben Seghir. Boadu’s departure, though regretted, allowed the club to recover a large sum and free resources for new recruits. All these operations demonstrate the willingness of AS Monaco to remain competitive in Ligue 1 and to continue its sporting progress.
