AS Monaco close to €30m deal for Nantes striker Abline
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
AS Monaco have put forward around €30 million to sign FC Nantes forward Mathis Abline, with a deal reported to be close.
AS Monaco are on the verge of agreeing a transfer fee with FC Nantes for striker Mathis Abline, with the club understood to have tabled an offer of approximately €30 million for the French forward.
Abline, who is contracted to the Canaries until 2028, has attracted interest from the Principality side as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the 2026-27 season. A fee in that range would represent a significant outlay and signals clear intent from Monaco's sporting directorate in the summer window.
Should the deal be concluded, Abline would join a squad continuing to rebuild under Adi Hütter at the Stade Louis II, with the club targeting a return to Champions League football after a difficult domestic campaign.
