The future of Akliouche and Ben Seghir, the first rumors concerning the arrivals... We take stock of the AS Monaco transfer window

General manager Thiago Scuro surprised no one on Monday morning when he announced the departure of Moatasem Al-Musrati. The Libyan was a short-term solution, and his physical and technical profile didn't match Adi Hütter's aspirations, lacking intensity and speed. He will be joined by the players who were on loan this season (Tincres, Valme, Efekele, Boadu), with the exception of Paris Brunner*.

They should leave

Maghnes Akliouche is expected to help ASM secure a lucrative sale this summer. His value is estimated at €40 million by specialist website Transfermarkt , but Monaco will try to raise the bid to around €60-70 million.

Scuro has already warned the suitors of the 23-year-old attacking midfielder. "We have expectations and there aren't many clubs capable of signing him," said the Brazilian, while the U21 international will have to make the right choice to avoid blocking his horizons and stay in the running for Les Bleus. In this regard, Paris would prove to be the best option while he can still gain consistency, but will PSG meet Monaco's expectations? It's not certain that abroad (City and Inter Milan have followed him in the past) is the ideal.

With the club keen to sign a goalkeeper, Philipp Köhn or Radoslaw Majecki are likely to have to look elsewhere.

They could leave

Ruled out for technical reasons before the match against Lens, Mohammed Salisu has struggled this season. Disappointed, he may want to leave. Even if Scuro imagines him fighting for his place this summer.

Aleksandr Golovin has not been convincing this season, caught up in injuries. Arriving in 2018, the Russian has sometimes seemed disconnected and less involved. "I hope there is no president's man," joked Scuro, who intends to improve the team's spirit and professionalism, while specifying that he does not know if "Golo" is "100 or 98% committed" and that he has had to learn to manage the competition this season.

Krépin Diatta and Breel Embolo, for their part, have not extended their contracts, even though their contracts will expire in a year. According to the latest reports, Monaco no longer counts on the Swiss international, but the 28-year-old striker feels comfortable in the Principality and won't go anywhere with the fourth-highest salary in the squad (270,000 euros gross monthly, estimated according to L'Équipe). He gets along wonderfully with Hütter and Biereth. His future will determine that of other strikers.

Scuro remained vague on Caio Henrique and Vanderson, who were pre-capped with Brazil for the June break, but at least one of the two could slip away.

They are waiting to see

Scalded by a decline in playing time in 2025, in line with his performances and confidence, which has strained his relationship with Adi Hütter, Eliesse Ben Seghir is questioning his future at his training club. "He has a contract and all the conditions at Monaco to become a more consistent player," Scuro reacted. "It's the safest place for him to take the next step. We're trying to make him understand that. It's not a question of deciding whether he should leave or stay, but that he understands that this is the path to follow. The path is here, in your home."

According to our information, several young players in the squad are also waiting to talk with their managers to get a clearer picture of their future. Loans could be considered for some of them, including Kassoum Ouattara, Edan Diop, Lucas Michal and Saïmon Bouabré. Questioned about the impatience of some kids, Scuro called for calm despite the pressure from agents and families that irritates him and creates "conflicts" . "Everyone wants to be Lamine Yamal and a key player at 17 years old ," the GM complained. "It's an exception, not a standard."

Barring any surprises, they will stay

Christian Mawissa, who is aiming for a place in the management, vice-captain Thilo Kehrer, captain Denis Zakaria and Soungoutou Magassa are expected to continue their adventure on the Rock.

Scuro also "closed" the door on Mika Biereth's possible departure, six months after his arrival. Even though the Danish striker has been the subject of a €35 million offer, according to L'Équipe. After a convincing first season, Lamine Camara is in high demand, according to our sources, but a departure would be surprising.

Folarin Balogun, who prays to be rid of his seeds, will be out for revenge.

The coach's right-hand man and the oldest player in the squad, Takumi Minamino will try to be more consistent next season, having suffered a dip in his performances in the middle of the season.

Jordan Teze will try to make people forget his difficult first year.

Despite the ups and downs, George Ilenikhena's departure is not planned by ASM, which has invested €17 million (excluding bonuses) in him. But the Nigerian wants to play and will be attentive to the movements made in attack.
