Mercato Mercato – AS Monaco: Benoît Badiashile confirms having rejected an offer
Benoît Badiash, who has been a hit with AS Monaco for two seasons, has been targeted by several foreign clubs, including Sevilla FC.
The Andalusian club called on the central defender of ASM to strengthen after the departure of Jules Koundé against FC Barcelona and the departure of Diego Carlos against Aston Villa in the Premier League.
The France international confirms Sevilla’s intention to sign him this summer and admits he turned down their offer.
“There is no need to rush with a transfer. We were talking about personality in a locker room, if I had left earlier, would I have been able to work as well in recent months? »the player explains to justify his choice.
Benoît Badiashi, who was trained at AS Monaco and became an indisputable holder of the Monegasque locker room, did not want to leave AS Monaco to join a foreign club to give himself the chance of being selected by Didier Deschamps for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“Being humble and respectful does not mean not being ambitious,” commented Benoît Badiash. I know how to be patient. I’m in a big club, I play and I don’t want to go any faster. If you have to do things to go to the World Cup, they will be done”
