Having seen their midfield options depleted this summer with the departures of Youssouf Fofana, Mohamed Camara and Félix Lemarechal, AS Monaco are open to recruiting another midfielder before the closure of the transfer window in just five days.
Lamine Camara has arrived to bolster Monaco’s midfield and he has impressed in the opening two games, despite his late red card in a 2-0 victory over Olympique Lyonnais last weekend. However, another element may yet be added, with Adi Hütter reportedly keen to add some more experience in this sector of the pitch.
As a result, the Principality club could reignite their interest in Leicester City’s Boubakary Soumaré (25), as reported by L’Équipe.
A new report from the publication reveals that the midfielder’s entourage are even pushing for a move to Les Monégasques, even if Soumaré’s wage could pose a problem. Monaco, who are also exploring other options simultaneously, are yet to make the first move.
