Monaco ‘pushing to sign’ Freiburg left-back Jordy Makengo | OneFootball

According to L’Equipe, AS Monaco are pushing to sign Freiburg left-back Jordy Makengo, 25, with an agreement in principle for him to join Filipe Luis's side.

Makengo is contracted to Freiburg until 2028, so any move depends on a deal between the clubs. The report adds Monaco are short of funds, which is slowing their transfer activity.

Monaco are in the market for a left-back after parting with Caio Henrique and Kassoum Ouattara this summer. The pair moved to AFC Ajax and Besiktas respectively.

Should Monaco strike terms with Freiburg, Makengo would compete for a starting role with Brazilian full-back Nazinho.

Luis's team begin their Ligue 1 campaign on Sunday with a trip to Didier Digard's Le Havre.
