As the summer transfer window approaches, there is much speculation about which players will be leaving their current clubs and which ones will be signing new contracts. One player who has been linked with a move away from Monaco is forward Ben Yedder.
Yedder has been with Monaco since 2014 and has made over 150 appearances for the club in all competitions. He has also scored 66 goals during his time at the club, making him one of their most important players.
However, it seems that Monaco may not be willing to let Yedder go just yet. According to reports, the French club are offering the player a contract extension until 2023, which would keep him at the club until he is almost 39 years old.
Despite this, Yedder's agent, Jean-Pierre Bernès, has said that his client is happy at Monaco and wants to stay. He has stated that Monaco have offered him a "very good" deal and that they want to sign him on a long-term contract.
If Yedder does end up staying at Monaco, then it could be seen as a positive for the team. Monaco has always been known for being a strong team in the Ligue 1 league, but they haven't won the title in recent years. If Yedder can continue to score goals for them, then they may be able to challenge for the title again next season.
On the other hand, if Yedder decides to leave Monaco, then it could be seen as a negative for the team. Losing such a key player could hurt their chances of winning the title, especially if they don't replace him with another top-class striker.
Overall, it remains to be seen whether Yedder will stay or go. However, whatever happens, it's clear that Monaco will be hoping to build a strong squad ahead of the upcoming season.
