Monaco seeks to sign Freiburg left-back Jordy Makengo

AS Monaco is actively pursuing the signing of Freiburg left-back Jordy Makengo, who is 25 years old. Reports indicate that Makengo has reached an agreement in principle to join Monaco ahead of their Ligue 1 season opener against Le Havre. Monaco is looking for a left-back after releasing Caio Henrique and Kassoum Ouattara, both of whom have moved to other clubs this summer. Financial constraints are reportedly hindering Monaco's transfer activities, complicating the potential deal with Freiburg, where Makengo is contracted until 2028.
