AS Monaco are on the verge of pulling off one of the biggest moves of the summer transfer window in Ligue 1. The Principality club are said to have reached an agreement with FC Nantes for the transfer of Matthis Abline, for a fee estimated at 30 million euros. The 23-year-old striker is expected to sign a five-year deal, pending the finalisation of the remaining details.
A profile tailor-made for Monaco's style of play
Having progressed consistently over recent seasons, Abline has established himself as one of the most promising French strikers in the division. Mobile, capable of running in behind as well as playing with his back to goal, he fits perfectly the profile Monaco were looking for to strengthen their attacking options.
A strong statement sent to the competition
With this move, the Monegasque club is also sending a clear message to its rivals. Long known for betting on young talents with high potential, Monaco are now showing they are ready to invest heavily in order to stay in the race for the top positions in Ligue 1 and the Champions League.
If the transfer is confirmed, it will be one of the most significant of the summer involving two French clubs.
