Aymen Abdennour Faces Increased Competition at Monaco as Club Eyes Toby Alderweireld Loan
Aymen Abdennour’s position at AS Monaco appears increasingly precarious, as the Tunisian defender struggles to cement his place in the squad. According to reports from Sky Sport Italia, Monaco are actively pursuing a central defender to bolster their backline and provide support to veteran Ricardo Carvalho.
The target is Atletico Madrid’s Toby Alderweireld, a 25-year-old Belgian international who currently finds himself surplus to requirements under Diego Simeone’s management at the Spanish club. Monaco are reportedly aiming to secure Alderweireld’s services on a loan deal, adding serious competition for defensive positions.
This move would present a significant challenge for Abdennour, who will have to contend with the arrival of a well-established European defender to retain his spot in the starting eleven.
Further complicating the situation, The Times reports that West Ham United are also interested in Alderweireld, intensifying the race to sign the Belgian defender.
With Alderweireld potentially joining the squad, Monaco’s defensive options would be significantly strengthened, but it also puts Abdennour’s future at the club under fresh uncertainty.
