Mohammed Salisu (26) is reportedly seeking a move away from AS Monaco this summer, according to reports in France.

The Ghanaian centre-back is drawing attention from several clubs from Saudi Arabia and Europe.

Salisu made the switch to Monaco from Southampton in the summer of 2023.

His debut season in Ligue 1 was hampered by injuries, although he featured more regularly in the early stages of the campaign.

However, his role diminished over time, and he ended the season as a backup option. He made just 15 Ligue 1 appearances, with his last start coming on February 1st.

Looking ahead, competition for places in Monaco’s defense is expected to intensify. The club has already secured the signing of Eric Dier on a free transfer following the end of his contract with Bayern Munich.

Given the circumstances, Salisu is now aiming for a fresh start elsewhere. He has attracted interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, as well as several teams across Europe.
