Monaco rebuffed over Ousmane Dembélé

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Paris Saint-Germain have kept their man, and Monaco go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets3 Jan 2028

Monaco bid $56.5M for Igor Paixão

The offer went to Olympique de Marseille this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market3 Jan 2028

Hákon Arnar Haraldsson hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Monaco can pretend not to have heard.

Squad3 Jan 2028

The season belongs to Bradley Barcola

An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Monaco have had the benefit of it.

Transfer targets3 Jan 2028

Monaco make their move for Mário Sauer

$2.4M on the table at Toulouse FC. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets3 Jan 2028

An offer of $2.3M for Yassin Belkhdim

Monaco have gone to Angers SCO with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

The dugout3 Jan 2028

Frédéric Philippe keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Monaco may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match1 Jan 2028

AJ Auxerre end the Monaco run at 9

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 9 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Market3 Jan 2028

Yves Bissouma wants more than Monaco are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Match22 Nov 2027

Monaco up to position 2

21 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Vanderson runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match20 Nov 2027

Monaco make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Monaco have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Words exchanged at Monaco

Lamine Camara and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Matthis Abline gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match20 Nov 2027

Monaco see off Angers SCO

Three points for Monaco, 1‑0 the final word against Angers SCO in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

The afternoon belonged to Alexandr Golovin

A mark of 7.78, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Somebody else is better right now than Riyad Mahrez

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Vanderson has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Monaco will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

In brief
