AS Monaco is about to register a significant reinforcement. The Principality club clearly affirms its ambitions for this 2023-24 season.
When he appeared at a press conference before the match against Nantes scheduled for this Friday, Adi Hütter did not hesitate to send a message to his management. ” I am very happy with the current squad. We only have two attackers, with Wissam (Ben Yedder) and Myron (Boadu), so this is one of the topics of the moment for the last days of the transfer window. We performed well, but we have to be careful about possible injuries. We are working on it“.
The AS Monaco coach did not drop a name. But he was heard. The Principality club would indeed be on the verge of registering a significant reinforcement for its offensive sector. According to information from Sky Sports, Monaco and Arsenal are close to an agreement for the transfer of striker Folarin Balogun. The outcome of a long soap opera for one of the most decisive attackers in the French championship last season.
A record amount in the history of AS Monaco
At the age of 22, the Anglo-American scored 22 goals in 39 appearances, in all competitions, under the colors of Stade de Reims last season. Fast, hard-hitting, effective in the last gesture, Balogun stands out as one of the rising values in its position on the market. The operation could be finalized for an amount of up to 58 million euros, which would represent a record in the history of AS Monaco.
