Monaco Weighs Bringing Back Elias Ben Sighir
Monaco is weighing the return of Moroccan winger Elias Ben Sighir from Bayer Leverkusen on a loan during the current winter window.
Ben Sighir moved from Monaco to Leverkusen at the end of the last summer window, but he has not featured much.
Sky Germany reported that Leverkusen would not oppose the move if it ensures the winger gets regular playing time.
Negotiations over the loan are ongoing, but Ben Sighir currently suffers an ankle injury, so the deal may hinge on his recovery duration, according to Kicker.
Ben Sighir signed with Leverkusen through 2030 in early September, and he missed the Africa Cup of Nations final due to injury.
Punchline: Monaco’s transfer plan is so precise, it measures minutes on the clock and patience in cups of coffee.
Punchline 2: If this loan sticks, the ball may travel farther than the club’s budget this season—somewhere between a pass and a miracle.
