This young player should leave
After having experienced a new European disillusionment, AS Monaco has won its championship. On the transfer window side, things should still move, since the young Willem Geubbels would be deemed undesirable by the Principality club.
AS Monaco’s summer is about to end, and it hasn’t been easy. Eliminated by Shatkior Donetsk on 3e preliminary qualifying round for the Champions League, the Monegasques have been reversed in the Europa League. In the league, the picks go better: 4 points taken in 2 days (1-2 in Strasbourg, 1-1 against Rennes). And on the side of the transfer window, calm should return, despite a looming departure, that of Willem Geubbels.
Indeed, according to information from the newspaper The Teamthe 21-year-old striker is said to have become undesirable, and AS Monaco would keep selling him.
A price 10 times lower than when buying
Recruited 25 million euros including bonus at OL in 2018, while he was a nugget in the Lyon training center, Willem Geubbels never managed to find a place for himself in the Principality. So much so that the Monegasques would claim some 2 million euros, 10 times less than what it was bought. Under contract until 2023, the player would not enter into the plans of coach Philippe Clément.
Author of 17 appearances in 2 seasons with ASMhe had been loaned last season to Nantes to revive. 3 goals and 1 assist in 26 games in all competitions, but only 5 starts, not enough to impress Monaco. Still according to the sports daily, several clubs have made loan offers with an option to buy to the Monegasques, the latter will have declined them, preferring a dry transfer. On the player’s side, the latter would prefer to evaluate in Switzerland or the Netherlands. 4 years after his arrival, the end of the Monegasque adventure seems very close, with many disappointments on both sides.
