While AS Monaco had been closely monitoring Pape Matar Sarr to strengthen its midfield, the Principality club has now officially announced that negotiations have fallen through.
The young Senegalese international’s profile was highly appealing to Monaco’s management, but the Ligue 1 club’s arguments were not enough to tip the scales in their favor.
Eager to continue his development at the highest level, the African champion clearly prefers to continue his journey across the Channel.
Thriving in the intensity and high standards of the Premier League, the midfielder has no plans to move to the French league this summer and hopes to establish himself permanently in English soccer.
Faced with the player’s determination to stay in England, ASM has definitively closed the book on this priority transfer.
