AS Monaco – Mercato: 20M€, it hurts a lot for ASM…
In addition to the incredible Aurélien Tchouaméni file, where Real Madrid as well as PSG and Liverpool FC would be ready to offer up to 80M€ to AS Monaco for the midfielder of the French team, the leaders of the ‘ASM is about to experience a more eventful transfer window than a year ago.
And if the Principality club learned with great enthusiasm of the extension of its former star, Kylian Mbappé, to PSG, since AS Monaco will receive a check for 35 million euros following the bonuses which had been negotiated between the various evenings in 2017, less life-saving information fell on the side of the Rock in view of the next summer transfer window…
Indeed, Willem Geubbels (20 years old), who comes out of a moderately successful loan to FC Nantes with only 2 goals and 1 decisive assist in 22 Ligue 1 matches, would be interested in several English clubs and should leave the Monegasque club trained by Philippe Clément this summer, according to information from the famous journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Arriving at AS Monaco from OL – Olympique Lyonnais in 2018 against a huge check for €20 million, Willem Geubbels was then still considered a (very) great future in French and world football. In the end, the native of Villeurbanne would have been a flop, like the Italian striker Pietro Pellegri, who had also been bought from him very young for more than 20M€ in Genoa a few seasons ago and who was loaned this season in Serie A to Torino FC.
Two daring and failed bets which will therefore hurt the ASM very badly in view of the investments made at the time…
