Monaco – AS Monaco are reportedly open to selling Swiss international striker Breel Donald Embolo this summer, following a pre-agreed pact made with the player a year ago.
This development puts several top European clubs on alert, as the powerful forward looks set for a potential move.
Sources close to the situation indicate that Turkish giants Besiktas came close to securing a deal for Embolo earlier in the current transfer window, with a reported fee of €15 million on the table.
However, the move ultimately fell through as the player himself rejected the proposal, suggesting his preference lies elsewhere or he’s holding out for a different opportunity.
Monaco, for their part, are standing firm on their valuation of Embolo, insisting on a transfer fee of €15 million.
This firm stance comes despite his contract running until June 2026, meaning this summer represents a prime opportunity for the Ligue 1 club to maximize his sale value.
Italian heavyweights AC Milan are said to be fully aware of Embolo’s availability and the asking price.
The Rossoneri have been actively seeking to bolster their attacking options this summer and Embolo, with his physical prowess, versatility, and experience, could fit their profile.
Embolo joined Monaco in the summer of 2022 from Borussia Mönchengladbach and has been a key contributor when fit.
However, a series of injuries, particularly last season, have limited his consistent impact.
This, combined with the earlier pact, seems to have paved the way for his potential departure.
With Monaco holding firm on their price and Embolo seemingly keen on a new challenge, the coming weeks could see increased activity from clubs like AC Milan as they weigh up a move for the 28-year-old striker.
Football fans will be keen to see where Embolo’s next chapter will take him.
