Meeting in front of the press on Monday, Paul Mitchell and Philippe Clement, respectively sports director and coach of AS Monaco, confirmed that they were no longer counting on the French side Djibril Sidibé, whose contract ends in June.
Next season, Djibril Sidibé will no longer be an AS Monaco player. Gathered for a round table in front of the media including Nice morningMonday, his sporting director Paul Mitchell and his coach Philippe Clement explained that the French right side would not extend his contract with the club du Rocher, which would end on June 30. The two parties failed to come to an agreement.
“It was a blessing to have three secondary rights like that in recent months. Ruben (Aguilar) has done a very great job in the last ten games. Vanderson represents the future. I used him very high but his best position is at the back, justified Clément. We spoke with Djibril, he wants to have more minutes, he is still very ambitious. I cannot guarantee him to have more minutes and his contract is over.
Trails in Germany
It’s the end of a six-year collaboration, which culminated in an unforgettable French championship title and a Champions League semi-final in 2017. Arrived in Monaco from Lille in 2016 , he played 173 games for the Principality, scoring six goals. During this period, he made his debut for the France team, which allowed him to become world champion in 2018.
Income from loan from Everton in 2020, Sidibé had not had the return offered this season. His playing time had notably decreased significantly, since he had only played 17 games, weighed down by competition from Aguilar and some physical glitches. At 29, he should try to glean playing time elsewhere in Europe. His profile would be particularly interested in several German clubs, including Hertha Berlin.
