After spending two seasons with AS Monaco, Gary Coulibaly is expected to make a move to a new club this season. The 27-year-old defensive midfielder is reportedly placed on the transfer list by the Ligue 1 champions, AS Monaco. Coulibaly found playing time limited due to the arrivals of players like Jérémy Toulalan, Joao Moutinho, and Delvin Ndinga in his position.
Despite an unsuccessful attempt by Sheffield Wednesday, who faced difficulties with his release clause set at 3 million euros, another English Championship club, Blackburn Rovers, is said to be strongly interested in signing the Franco-Malian midfielder, as reported by Nice-Matin. Additionally, there is reported interest from Ligue 1 clubs Reims and Evian TG.
Although the player is under contract with AS Monaco until 2016, it seems that Gary Coulibaly is favoring a move to England, where Blackburn Rovers could become his new destination. The transfer situation may continue to develop as negotiations progress between the player and potential clubs.
