Metz is about to lose one of its key defenders, Sadibou Sané, who is joining AS Monaco in the next few hours. The financial operation is estimated at around 10 million euros, including bonuses.

What happened?

The 21-year-old Senegalese central defender has been followed for a long time by the Monaco leaders, who have finally convinced the Lorraine club to let him go.

Why does it matter for Metz?

This loss is all the more difficult to accept for Metz as the club has just been relegated to Ligue 2. The Lorraine club must face a new reality and find solutions to replace its key players.

What comes next?

Metz must now focus on the next season and find ways to strengthen its squad. The club can count on its young players to take over, but it will also need to make judicious recruitments to hope to return to Ligue 1.
