Football Monaco – Monaco chain miracles in the transfer window
Long renowned for its ability to make huge capital gains, AS Monaco has not lost the recipe. After the big transfer of midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni to Real Madrid this summer, the Principality club will do it again with Benoît Badiashile, expected at Chelsea as part of a major operation.
AS Monaco going to line their pockets again. Unless the situation returns, Benoît Badiashile is preparing to join Chelsea during the winter transfer window. A trend confirmed by the media Foot Mercato, whose sources relay the confidence of the Blues on this file. Negotiations are not quite finished yet, but the operation is announced to be on the right track. The central defender of AS Monaco, despite the interest of Manchester United, would be interested in the London project and would wait for the conclusion of the deal. There is talk of an imminent transfer to 40 million euros!

Some will say that the Principality club has sold its 21-year-old talent very well, whose performances have not always been unanimous in recent seasons. It is true that Benoît Badiashile, since the chance offered by coach Thierry Henry, has not followed the expected trajectory. Nevertheless, his recent selections for the France team must have boosted his rating on the transfer market. So much so that Chelsea, after betting more than 80 million euros on Wesley Fofana, agrees to bet big on the Monegasque.
More big sales to come
Another big sale recorded by AS Monaco. This summer, we remember that Real Madrid paid 80 million euros for midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni. And it may not be over. Philippe Clément’s squad still includes players with high market value such as midfielder Youssouf Fofana, or even central defender Axel Disasi, for whom Monaco claimed 50 million euros from Paris Saint-Germain last August. Proof that the ASM has not lost the recipe for making incredible capital gains.
