The AS Monaco team seems to favour a restricted team composition, according to the wishes of their coach. Several players are courted by other clubs, including Kassoum Ouattara targeted by Lille, Metz, Toulouse and Augsburg, with Monaco assessing its potential at 15 million euros. Thilo Kehrer may interest Galatasaray, while George Ilenikhé, Leverkusen and the Fiorentina are on the lookout for the other two. In addition, Soungoutou Magassa is reportedly in discussion with AS Roma. Finally, Krépin Diatta and Lucas Michal are eager to start. Folarin Balogun allegedly politely refused the advances of Stade Rennais.

As far as key players are concerned, the situation of Ansu Fati and Paul Pogba remains uncertain despite the return to power of Eric Dier and Lukas Hradecky. The AS Monaco starts the recovery of the championship against Le Havre, with a substantial strength but where the management chose not to rush the integration of its two new major recruits from the summer mercato. This decision probably aims to maintain optimal team cohesion and gradually integrate these players into the game system.

In addition, AS Monaco has unveiled its new third jersey, the color of which lies between the model of last season (cream) and that of 2004-2005 (gold). This shade evokes the colour of the sun on the Rocher region, thus recalling the emblematic colours of the “Samurai Blue”. This new collection complements the team’s offer and demonstrates the strong visual identity of the club.
