an advantageous transaction for the finances of the club
Attracting the jackpot in the winter transfer window is not as common as during its summer pendant. So every coin won is a win. Even for accounts with a displacement like that of AS Monaco.
Return to the club of its golden period
Lorient? Or Montpellier? What was the club that saw the hatching of the prime by Benjamin Lecomte? This famous moment when an athlete reaches the peak of his physical, mental, tactical and technical talent. If his hatching took place within the workforce of Merlus, it was in Montpellier that the player was considered a goalkeeper belonging to the best defense of the moment (composed of Pedro Mendes, Vitorino Hilton, and Daniel Congré). We are then in the middle of the 2017-2018 season, and Lecomte shines with a thousand lights: 14 clean sheets, and 0.9 goals conceded per game on average. A wall. A wall that will bring in money.
3 million euros in the bag
After seeing his contract with Espanyol Barcelona finally terminated, Benjamin Lecomte therefore signed in Montpellier for a return expected by many supporters since 2017. A transaction that will allow AS Monaco to recover three million in the case. Indeed, it was after 60 games played under the colors of AS Monaco that the goalkeeper was sent on loan to Spain. First at Atlético de Madrid and then at Espanyol Barcelona. If he played 10 games for the latter club, Lecomte should play more in Montpellier. More complete and experienced than Matis Carvalho, Bingourou Kamara, and Dimitry Bertaud, he will be able to take advantage of the departure of Jonas Omlin. The Swiss porter is now goalkeeper of Borussia M’gladbach. For Lecomte, the time to close the loop may have arrived.
