Overview
- Matthis Abline has passed his medical and signed a five-year contract with AS Monaco reportedly running to 2031.
- Monaco has agreed to pay €25 million plus up to €5 million in bonuses, a sum reported as a record transfer fee for FC Nantes.
- The transfer is functionally complete in Monaco after the signature and medical, with the club posting the arrival on its channels.
- Final validation remains dependent on homologation by the French league, a standard administrative step that can take a few days and is not reported to endanger the deal.
- The move removes Abline from Nantes’s squad for the season in Ligue 2 and gives Nantes a sizeable transfer windfall that could reshape its finances and player plan while Monaco readjusts its attacking options.
