AS Monaco could remain active until the final hours of the transfer window, with the potential departure of Folarin Balogun likely to determine whether they can complete a move for Frosinone winger Fares Ghedjemis.
The Ligue 1 club are considering several options to strengthen their attack and have identified the Algeria international as one of their targets. Ghedjemis, who currently plays for Frosinone in Serie B, is understood to be highly rated by Monaco’s recruitment team.
However, a move for the 23-year-old is not expected to be considered separately from Balogun’s situation. According to Nice-Matin, Monaco’s transfer activity could depend on a number of departures and arrivals, with the future of the American striker of Nigerian descent among the most significant factors.
If Balogun leaves the Principality, Monaco could have greater scope to bring in additional attacking reinforcements. Ghedjemis would be one of the players who could benefit from that change in circumstances, with his potential transfer likely to move quickly if space is created in the squad.
Monaco have already made their interest known to Frosinone, although the Italian club are not expected to allow the player to leave without a firm negotiation. Talks could therefore continue in the closing stages of the window, with the outcome dependent on how the wider transfer market develops.
Ghedjemis enjoyed an impressive campaign in Serie B last season, performances which have attracted interest from several clubs. His growing profile was highlighted by Africafoot, which reported on the competition for his signature, and his displays have helped increase his value in the market.
The winger remains under contract with Frosinone until June 2028. His estimated market value is €7.5m, a figure that could make him an attainable option for Monaco if Balogun’s departure allows the club to reshape its attacking department.
Ghedjemis is also set to have the opportunity to feature in a prominent fixture with Frosinone shortly. The Italian side will face Juventus in their opening league match of the season.
The source article also cites odds from betting company 1xBet for that fixture. Frosinone are priced at 6.20 to win, a draw is listed at 4.15, while Juventus are rated at 1.19. The article includes a promotional reference to downloading the 1xBet application.
