The football rumor of the day suggests that AS Monaco, currently sitting 2nd in Ligue 1, is interested in recruiting Vincent Kompany from Manchester City. Reportedly, Monaco’s owner, Dimitri Rybolovlev, sees Kompany as the preferred choice for strengthening the defense, with Eliaquim Mangala and Nicolas Otamendi also on the club’s radar.
Vincent Kompany, the captain of Manchester City, is returning from injury after being sidelined for about two months. The report indicates that Monaco is considering making a move for the Belgian defender, despite his iconic status at Manchester City and his contract running until 2018.
While the rumor raises eyebrows given Kompany’s strong ties to Manchester City, Monaco’s interest seems to be fueled by the owner’s desire to bolster the team’s defensive lineup. Whether this transfer will materialize remains uncertain, especially considering Kompany’s long-standing connection to Manchester City and his current contract status.
