Eliesse Ben Seghir, a young 20-year-old Moroccan international striker, is one of the revelations of European football this summer 2025. Trained at AS Monaco, where he is under contract until June 2027, Ben Seghir attracts attention from many major clubs. Despite an estimated value around 30 million euros, Monaco is demanding nearly 50 million for their gem, demonstrating their desire to keep this talent despite pressing interest from several prestigious European teams.
While clubs like Napoli, Juventus, and FC Barcelona have shown interest, two German clubs stand out: Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund. Bayer Leverkusen, searching for a successor to Amine Adli who left for Bournemouth, made an initial offer that Monaco declined, though negotiations continue with a second amount expected. Dortmund has also shown serious interest, particularly due to a release clause set at about 35 million euros.
At Monaco, Ben Seghir’s sporting situation has had ups and downs. Initially pushed towards the exit, his preseason performances unsettled coach Adi Hütter’s plans. However, facing reduced playing time and some frustration, the player wants to take on a new challenge abroad. Meanwhile, the club displays ambition to continue helping him progress, though the future of this prodigy remains uncertain.
Finally, at Marseille, OM attempted an original approach to woo the player, notably through influencer Mohamed Henni who launched a humorous but sincere invitation during the Monaco-Nice derby. Despite this media teasing, the trend still leans towards a move to the Bundesliga, where Ben Seghir hopes to establish himself at the highest level and continue his rise. This summer transfer window promises to be decisive for the career of this promising Moroccan and European football talent.
