Tiémoué Bakayoko Set to Join AS Monaco After Rennes Agreement
Tiémoué Bakayoko is poised to complete his move to AS Monaco this week, following an agreement between the Ligue 1 clubs Stade Rennais and the principality side.
According to Stade Rennais’ official website, the promising defensive midfielder will arrive at Monaco this Friday to undergo a medical examination before finalising his contract. The 19-year-old French U21 international is currently with Rennes’ squad at their training camp in Germany but will soon join Monaco to complete the transfer process.
“Subject to the usual medical, Tiémoué Bakayoko will sign with AS Monaco,” confirmed Rennes. The announcement also noted that Bakayoko is expected to join the Monaco team promptly after his medical clearance.
The transfer deal marks a significant step in Bakayoko’s young career, as he moves to one of Ligue 1’s top clubs, known for nurturing emerging talents. Monaco’s sporting project, combined with the player’s potential, suggests a promising future for the midfielder.
Stade Rennais confirmed the news via their official Twitter account:
“Transfer: Tiémoué #Bakayoko will undergo his medical at @AS_Monaco!”
Bakayoko’s arrival at Monaco is expected to strengthen the club’s midfield options ahead of the new season. As a defensive midfielder with impressive tactical awareness and physicality, the Frenchman’s signing fits Monaco’s ambition to compete at the highest level both domestically and in European competitions.
This move follows Monaco’s recent transfer activity, aimed at building a competitive squad for the upcoming Ligue 1 campaign.
