Wissam Ben Yedder has left AS Monaco as a free agent after his contract expired at the end of the season. Despite holding talks with the club, both parties agreed to part ways. Monaco CEO Thiago Scuro reflected on their discussions, highlighting Ben Yedder’s appeal in the market as a free agent.
Ben Yedder, a 19-cap France international, leaves a significant legacy at Monaco. Scuro praised him as an exceptional striker with a remarkable sense of the game and goal-scoring ability, noting his contributions over the past five seasons. Ben Yedder’s 118 goals in 208 appearances for Monaco have cemented his place in the club’s history.
Before his tenure at Monaco, Ben Yedder scored 70 goals in 138 matches for Sevilla, including a memorable double at Old Trafford that eliminated Manchester United from the Champions League in 2018. His departure from Monaco opens opportunities for younger talents, such as former Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun, 22, to make their mark with the Ligue 1 team next season.
