Monaco attacking midfielder Aleksandr Golovin could return to his home country as soon as next week, with both Spartak Moscow and Zenit expressing interest. Regarding Jean Lucas, Monaco and Al-Ahli have reached an agreement. The failed Balogun transfer to Everton has indeed dealt a significant blow to Monaco.

As reported on Thursday, Jean Lucas will move to Saudi Arabia. The 19-year-old midfielder, a product of Monaco's youth academy, is contracted until 2031 and has made 6 appearances in his professional debut season. He has been cleared to undergo a medical examination and will subsequently sign a contract with Al-Ahli. The Jeddah club officials have agreed with Monaco on a €10 million transfer fee, which will also include a 15% sell-on clause.

The transfer will only become official after the French U19 international completes his medical and receives approval from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. Although Western Europe's transfer window closed Tuesday evening, Monaco may still release at least one more key player. Earlier this summer, reports indicated that Golovin might move to Saudi Arabia or Russia. In recent hours, the likelihood of his return home has increased significantly.

As revealed by Nice-Matin, Monaco's sports department has contacted Spartak Moscow and Zenit Saint Petersburg. However, no deal is close to completion. Balogun is not expected to leave before the January transfer window. Golovin is a key player under Adi Hütter, and since the start of the season, Hütter has consistently included him in the starting lineup when possible. He has contributed 1 goal and 1 assist in 3 matches so far. Should the deal materialize, the transfer fee will range between €20 million and €25 million.

This would also mean the longest-serving player in the squad will depart after 8 seasons with Rouge et Blanc, having joined Monaco after the 2018 World Cup. Nevertheless, despite several transfer windows remaining open, Balogun appears set to stay until January. Monaco believes it is not easy to sell a player of his caliber at this stage of the season. Last year, Monaco sold Georges Ilenikhena for €30 million (excluding bonuses) in February, which helped the coastal club balance its finances.
