🟥❌ MONACO COULD BE IN TROUBLE

Despite its exit from UEFA's financial fair play, ASM must cover an estimated deficit of 60 M€ and deal with its absence from the Champions League.

The DNCG has therefore decided to limit its wage bill for the 2026-2027 season.

WITHOUT SELLING BALOGUN OR CAMARA, THEY CAN'T COVER THE DEFICIT.

🗣 John Terry: "I was speaking to Tosin the other day and I was like, “What did the manager say?”

And he was like, “I’m just not in his plans. Listen, fully respect it. I’d love to kind of prove him wrong here, but I’ve been told I’d need to find another club and he’s going, I’m gutted because I’ve only been here a couple of years”.

So he’s obviously disappointed with that, Tosin, but the manager makes it really clear, so honest with the players, there’s no kind of grey area in there at all."

🚨 Alonso: “After a game, you have so many stats. It depends what you look at. Possession tells you something, xG tells you something else. What we want is, we are able to adapt.”

“We will have games where we have lots of possession. To have different tools and different ideas how to do it is good. We are early days. Two games, two wins but we are aware we can do better”
