Pushed towards the exit, Eliesse Ben Seghir has just reshuffled the deck with his first appearance in the Monaco jersey during preseason. Enough to disrupt the plans of his coach Adi Hütter and the management of the Principality club.

Delivering a high-quality performance in Monaco's victory over Cercle Brugge, the Moroccan sent a clear message to his employers.

The club, which will compete in the UEFA Champions League next season, has been active in the transfer market by recruiting big names like Ansu Fati and Paul Pogba while planning several departures. Eliesse Ben Seghir's name was among those expected to leave.

With his performances against the Belgian side, the 20-year-old is forcing his coach to reconsider his place in the team's project. The Atlas Lion (11 caps, 3 goals) is under contract with ASM until June 2027.
