40M€, the strange Mercato info of the day at ASM!
Thanks to goals from Sofiane Diop and Caio Henrique as well as a double from Wissam Ben Yedder, AS Monaco, now imposed by Philippe Clément who took over from Niko Kovac on the Monegasque bench, crushed Clermont Foot 63 at the Stade Louis II on Sunday during the 21st day of Ligue 1 (4-0).
But if the ASM, where Aurélien Tchouaméni or Benoît Badiashile and Kevin Volland evolve, has already made a nice move on this winter transfer market by snatching the signature of the young and very promising Vanderson, a strange Mercato news has fallen on the Rock this Tuesday !
Indeed, according to the information of our colleagues from the newspaper The Team, AS Monaco would have received an offer of 40M€ from Newcastle for Benoît Badiashile… but the club of the Principality would have refused this proposal from the Magpies, who would be close to completing the transfer of Diego Carlos (FC Sevilla), for the young central defender of the France Espoirs team.
A surprising piece of information when you know that Benoît Badiashile is currently injured in the hamstrings and that he should return to the field around mid-February… Business to follow all the same on the side of AS Monaco!
