Monaco stars showcase talent as League 1 side beat Tottenham in Champions League
The Monegasques are now the table leaders in France alongside Mario Balotelli’s OGC Nice
Goals of yesterday night came courtesy of Bernardo Silva and Thomas Lemar who replaced injured Dirar, a former Lazio target. Bernardo Silva, 22, is a long-time target of Juventus. The Old Lady is being scouting him alongside his teammate Bakayoko who played in centre midfield close to versatile star Fabinho a target of Manchester United who had been chased by Napoli last summer.
Brazilian centre-back Jermerson partnered up with former Torino defender Kamil Glik with French wingback Sidibe on the left. Thirty-year old Moutinho and Falcao completed yesterday’s line-up. Former AS Roma Morgan De Sanctis sat on the bench with promising prospects Adama Traore, Almamy Toure and Abdo Diallo. Boschilla and Mendy are injured.
Most of these players are clients of super-agent Jorge Mendes and buying players from AS Monaco is known to be a thing that just a few clubs can afford.
In the last few seasons they sold Martial to Man Utd for € 50 million, Kondogbia to Inter for 31, James to Real for 75, Kurzawa, Abdennur and Carrasco for 24,22 and 17 respectively.
