The Bayer Leverkusen launched a first financial proposal for Monegasque attacker Eliesse Ben Seghir, in a context where AS Monaco must prepare for the growing interest of several European clubs for its young talents as the end of the mercato approaches. This situation comes at a time when Maghnes Akliouche’s future in the Monaco club is uncertain, and the departure of Ben Seghir, who was considered to be insured, may well take place elsewhere. The information, relayed by Monaco Matin, indicates that the Bayer Leverkusen submitted an initial offer estimated at 25 million euros for Ben Seghir, in order to fill the gap left by Amine Adli, who left to join Bournemouth.

The 20-year-old striker seems open to the idea of a new sports project and a different championship. However, AS Monaco would set a price of 40 million euros for the sale of the Moroccan international, which would not be particularly close to the Monegasque coach, Adi Hütter. This distance could complicate negotiations and increase the likelihood of departure. The apparent tensions between the player and the coach add additional complexity to the situation.

Given these elements, it seems unlikely that players Eliesse Ben Seghir and Maghnes Akliouche will continue to evolve together with the Monegasque jersey next season. AS Monaco will therefore have to make a strategic decision regarding the management of its talents, weighing the cost of the divestiture and the impact on the future of the team. Competition from European clubs, including the Bayer Leverkusen, could influence this decision, and the Monegasque club will have to negotiate firmly to obtain satisfactory financial compensation.
