Monaco Stand Firm on Abdennour Amid Transfer Interest
Tunisian defender Aymen Abdennour remains at AS Monaco despite strong interest from several major European clubs, including FC Barcelona — a club the player has openly expressed admiration for. However, Monaco’s management is showing no signs of loosening their grip on the centre-back.
According to Le Parisien, Monaco view Abdennour as a key figure in Leonardo Jardim’s plans and are reluctant to sanction his departure at this stage of the transfer window. Club officials reportedly believe that the 26-year-old plays a vital role in the squad’s balance and defensive structure.
Abdennour has been linked with a number of top European sides following his impressive performances in Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League. Despite the growing interest and offers on the table, Monaco have held firm, sending a clear message that their defender is not for sale — at least for now.
But the situation may be turning tense. The player himself is said to be growing increasingly frustrated with the club’s unwillingness to facilitate a move. Reports suggest Abdennour is becoming impatient as the transfer deadline looms, and he remains in limbo despite being courted by elite sides.
While no formal conflict has emerged, the risk of a standoff between the player and the club appears to be rising. With just weeks left in the window, Monaco may face increasing pressure to either grant Abdennour his desired transfer or risk a deeper rift within their camp.
