Monaco (FRA) is close to finalizing the signing of Marc Casadó from Barcelona (ESP)

Filipe Luís is very close to being announced as Monaco’s (FRA) new head coach for next season. As a result, the Monegasque side is expected to complete its first signing with the former Flamengo coach’s project in mind.

According to Spanish journalist Javi Giorgetti, Monaco is set to complete the signing of midfielder Marc Casadó from Barcelona (ESP). The negotiations are at an advanced stage, and the clubs are close to finalizing an agreement for the 22-year-old player.

Initially, Monaco will pay 18 million euros (R$ 104.7 million at the current exchange rate) to Barcelona for Marc Casadó. The deal also includes 5 million euros (R$ 29.6 million) in bonuses if certain targets are met.

Marc Casadó will earn three times more than he currently does at Barcelona. The midfielder is seeking more playing time and, under Filipe Luís, he is expected to be used more regularly. Finally, the deal should be completed next week.

WHAT IS FILIPE LUÍS’ SITUATION?

Filipe Luís has reached a verbal agreement with Monaco, according to the European press. The Monegasque side is now working out the final details to complete the hiring of the former Flamengo coach.

IS FILIPE LUÍS IN DEMAND?

It is worth mentioning that, since leaving Flamengo in March, Filipe Luís has been targeted by several European clubs. First, interest came from Chelsea (ENG), but the coach was not a priority for the English side.

Shortly afterward, Bayer Leverkusen (GER) tried to sign him, but the offer was rejected by Filipe Luís. Finally, Besiktas (TUR) also entered the race, but the former Flamengo full-back chose the team that competes in the French league.
