AS Monaco has spotted a new nugget in Brazil

The season has started rather badly for the Monegasques. Although they managed to get out of the relegation zone, Leonardo Jardim's men are far from what could be expected, especially given the recruitment this summer. While some recruits such as Wissam Ben Yedder and Islam Slimani are already at an excellent level, there are clearly some gaps in the workforce, particularly in terms of offensive animation.

So it's not surprising to learn, via the Brazilian media Globoesporte, that the leaders of the club of the Principality seek reinforcements for their midgame. And if we rely on the publication in question, they may well have found their happiness in Brazil, since they would have set their sights on Jean Pyerre, 21-year-old midfielder who lives in Gremio, and considered one of the biggest hopes of the country.

He recently extended his contract

So much so that the Asemistes have already started the big maneuvers to secure his arrival. Also according to the same media, AS Monaco emissaries met with the staff of the Brazilian club (the president and general manager) on Friday to discuss the situation of the player, who recently extended to in 2023, with a release clause of 120 million euros.

We can imagine that we will have to put our hands in the pocket to offer it. According to the experts, this is a very versatile midfielder, capable of playing as 6, 8 and even number 10, and he is one of the executives of this Gremio team who is making a good run. in Copa Libertadores, having managed to reach the semi-final of the competition. In any case, he will not be able to land in Europe until January.
