It appears that Nicolas Isimat-Mirin is on the verge of joining AS Monaco in a transfer deal worth 4 million Euros. Despite the tough competition that awaits him at the club, the Guadeloupean defender seems confident and ready to embrace the challenge. In an interview with RMC, the 21-year-old former Valenciennes player expressed his optimism and determination.
Isimat-Mirin acknowledged the high level of players at AS Monaco but emphasized that he is not afraid of the competition. He sees his move to Monaco as a thoughtful choice made in consultation with his family and agents. The young defender is eager to take on the challenge and is grateful to President Dmitry Rybolovlev for placing trust in him.
Having been closely followed by the club for several months, Isimat-Mirin recognizes the standing of AS Monaco, which boasts big stars and is evolving into a significant team in football. Despite the impressive lineup, he is aware that he won’t be on the front line immediately and understands there is a shortlist of players.
Monaco’s aspirations for the upcoming season include performing well in Ligue 1, with additional pressure due to the club’s growing status. Isimat-Mirin mentioned that specific objectives for the season will be determined at the start, but one of the aims is to challenge the reigning champion, which likely refers to Paris Saint-Germain.
