Monaco turn to attacking reshuffle in pursuit of Fares Ghedjemis

AS Monaco could remain active in the transfer market until the final hours, with Fares Ghedjemis among the players being considered by the Ligue 1 club.

The 23-year-old Algeria international plays for Frosinone in Serie B and has attracted the attention of Monaco’s recruitment team as the club seeks to strengthen its attacking options. Ghedjemis operates primarily on the right wing and is regarded as a potential addition to the Principality side’s forward line.

However, any move for Ghedjemis may depend on developments involving Folarin Balogun. According to Nice-Matin, Monaco’s transfer plans could be influenced by several possible departures and arrivals, with the future of the United States striker, who is of Nigerian heritage, viewed as particularly significant.

Should Balogun leave Monaco, the club could have room to bring in further attacking reinforcements. Ghedjemis is one of the players who could benefit from that change in circumstances, with his proposed move potentially gaining momentum if the former Arsenal forward departs.

Monaco have already expressed an interest in Ghedjemis to Frosinone. The Italian club, however, are not expected to allow the player to leave easily, meaning negotiations could continue as both clubs assess the market and their respective options.

Ghedjemis enjoyed a notable season in Serie B, performances which have raised his profile and attracted interest from a number of clubs. Africafoot previously reported exclusively on the attention surrounding the winger, whose displays have strengthened his standing in the transfer market.

The Algerian remains under contract with Frosinone until June 2028. His estimated market value is €7.5m, a figure that could form an important part of any discussions between the Italian club and Monaco. Frosinone’s reluctance to part with a player tied down for several more seasons could therefore make the negotiations more complicated.

For Monaco, the situation appears to be closely linked to the composition of their attack in the closing stages of the window. A departure for Balogun would create the possibility of fresh investment in the forward line, while Ghedjemis’ form and age make him a candidate for consideration as the club weighs its options.
