During the 2013 summer transfer window, AS Monaco emerged as a prominent player in the market. The club confirmed the signings of Joao Moutinho and James Rodriguez from Porto, adding strong sporting value to the team. Now, there are indications that Monaco’s shopping spree might extend to Lisbon.
Eliaquim Mangala, who received his first call-up to the French national team by coach Didier Deschamps, could potentially join his former Porto teammates in Ligue 1. Mangala acknowledges the strong sporting project at Monaco and mentions that, besides the financial aspect, the club has a real plan for success. With James Rodriguez and Joao Moutinho already signed, there are also talks of other significant names, including Falcao.
Mangala, who has attracted interest from clubs like Liverpool, is reported to be on Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) radar as well. The player himself has spoken positively about Monaco, praising both the city and the weather. The competition for Mangala’s signature suggests a dynamic and competitive transfer market during that summer.
