Mercato Mercato: Monaco refuses a very big offer for Badiashile! – Soccer
AS Monaco have turned down Newcastle’s offer for central defender Benot Badiashile. The English club offered 40 million euros.
Badiashile should end the Monaco season
Newcastle is very active. Arming the financing well since its takeover by a Saudi sovereign fund, the current 19th in the Premier League wishes to strengthen significantly during this winter transfer window to save its place in the elite of English football. With the objective of recruiting one or even two defenders concerned.
Monaco refuses €40 million
With this in mind, the Magpies recently made an offer of 40 million euros for Monaco defender Benot Badiashile (20). This proposal, very attractive, logically makes Monaco think. But the Asmist management finally decided to push it back, announces L’Equipe.
Nevertheless, the ASM does not close the door on the sale of the international Espoirs tricolor. Can it materialize by January 31? It is not acting. Firstly because the player has not made a departure this winter a priority and is waiting for the two clubs to eventually agree to make a decision. Then because it is not certain that Newcastle will come back with a higher offer.
The end of this file?
Stuck in the bottom of the Premier League standings, the residents of St James’ Park need to recruit quickly operational elements to start their recovery. Or, the English team have learned since their offer that the Mongasque will not return to competition until the beginning of March due to a thigh injury. An unavailability which could well permanently cool the Magpies.
