AS Monaco have made an approach for Lyonnais Karl Toko Ekambi, who is expected to join Saudi Arabia instead.
In search of a striker to compensate for the serious injury of Breel Embolo, AS Monaco has made Folarin Balogun its priority. But the Principality club also explored the Karl Toko Ekambi track, according to RMC.
The ASM would have tested the ground for the Cameroonian international, undesirable in Lyon, but this one is well on the point of joining Saudi Arabia, and the club of Abha, for a transfer of 2 million euros, including bonuses.
