Saïmon Bouabré will play for Neom SC in Saudi Arabia next season. An agreement has been reached between the newly promoted side and AS Monaco for the transfer of the young Franco-Ivorian talent.

At just 19 years old, Saïmon Bouabré is about to take a major step in his career. The attacking midfielder has chosen to join the Saudi Pro League after coming through the ranks at ASM, representing the club in the U17, U19, and U21 categories.

According to French media reports, ASM will receive €10 million, excluding bonuses. The Ivorian-born player's profile had also attracted strong interest from Olympique de Marseille.

Born in Saint-Etienne, Bouabré is a French U20 international, having played 12 matches (scoring once) in all competitions for Les Bleuets.
