According to the latest report from the authoritative French sports media "L'Equipe", the Ligue 1 powerhouse Monaco Football Club has taken a keen interest in Leicester City's midfielder Soumare and sees him as an ideal replacement for departing midfielder Youssef Fofana. With the loss of a number of midfielders this summer, Monaco is in dire need of reinforcements in the midfield position to maintain the competitiveness of the team.
Monaco's transfer market this summer has had its ups and downs, with the departures of midfielders Youssef Fofana, Mohamed Camara and Le Mareschal, and new captain Zakaria attracting the attention of a number of Premier League clubs, which has reduced Monaco's midfield strength. Although the team has signed Lamine Camara as a new recruit, it is clear that this is not enough to fill the gap left by the departed players. Previously, Monaco was also close to signing Lens midfielder Ainawi, but unfortunately, the player failed to pass the medical examination due to a knee injury, which led to the collapse of the deal.
Faced with a shortage of midfielders, Monaco head coach Hütter explicitly asked the club to sign a new midfielder who has already proved himself in the top league. Sumaré, who plays for Leicester City, fit the bill perfectly. Sumaré has a wealth of experience, having played in top leagues such as Ligue 1, English Premier League and La Liga, and has shown excellent technical ability and tactical skills. Therefore, he naturally becomes an important target for Monaco to attract new players.
Monaco are currently seriously considering bringing in Soumare, but have yet to send a concrete offer to Leicester City. However, the deal is not without competition. It is reported that Roma and other teams have also shown strong interest in Soumaré, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty for Monaco to sign this midfielder. However, Monaco, as a traditional powerhouse in Ligue 1, has strong financial resources and a good team environment, and I believe they will show enough sincerity and strength in the upcoming transfer negotiations to bring Sumaré to the club as soon as possible.
