Arriving at AS Monaco in January 2021 from Club Bruges, 26-year-old Senegalese international Krépin Diatta is preparing to leave the Monaco club.
Despite his versatility and having played over 120 matches in the red and white jersey, last season was disappointing for him, clearly steering his future towards a departure. His contract runs until June 2026, and negotiations for a sale during this summer transfer window are progressing quickly, with a principal agreement already reached between the parties involved.
Recruited at age 21, Diatta had established himself as an important element at AS Monaco thanks to his technical qualities and European experience, mainly through his appearances in Ligue 1 and continental competitions. However, in recent months, his playing time has diminished, a trend that convinced the club to consider selling him soon. The player’s starting price remains accessible, which is likely to attract interest from several European clubs, including some in the Premier League where multiple teams are closely following his case.
Versatile, able to play as a winger on both flanks and even as a wing-back in defense, Diatta has solid international experience with 42 caps and 2 goals for Senegal. This tactical versatility makes him a sought-after profile, especially as a move could be finalized this summer. Numerous clubs are monitoring the situation of this Senegalese international, eager to take on a new challenge outside Monaco.
As the transfer deadline (1 September) approaches, the outcome of this case should be confirmed very soon. AS Monaco, aware of the significance of this operation for its squad and finances, will thus turn the page on one of its key figures of recent years, allowing Krépin Diatta to continue his career at a new club under financially reasonable terms for the suitors. This is a development to follow closely for all European football enthusiasts.
