Courted for a while, Malang Sarr joined AS Monaco in the form of a paying loan with an obligation to purchase 12 million euros. When asked on the club’s official website, the defender explained his choice: “It was the project itself that convinced me to come here. The fact that Monaco is a big club I think is something important. To be able to have a discussion with the coach, with the management, to really see the interest that they had for me was also, just as the fact of agreeing on many points, the fact that they saw potential in me and they wanted me to exploit it here. Having a great team, a young team that aspires to great things. In this championship, we know that Monaco is a very important team that will play for the top of the table and that’s really what I want, competition, to be able to perform every weekend and progress..
Despite the elimination in the preliminary round of the Champions League, Sarr will have the opportunity to evolve at ASM. The player is returning to France, he who learned a lot abroad. “I think it brought me a lot of maturity to be able to discover foreign championships, other ways of working. I think it allowed me to broaden my palette and today I am a much more complete player, with experience. I grew up playing in the Premier League, being in Portugal too. I think that all these points, physically, tactically, but also as a man, allowed me to mature. I lived abroad, I was able to “discover” myself. All these things mean that today I am a much more complete player than before. I left as a young player and I arrive as an important and experienced player.. It’s up to him!
