AS Monaco are closing in on a move to sign West Ham United centre-back Thilo Kehrer (27), according to Fabrizio Romano.
Despite their third-place standing in Ligue 1, Monaco have been unconvincing defensively, and the Principality club are therefore understandably looking to strengthen in the summer. Whilst discussions over the signing of Stade Brestois’ Lilian Brassier (24) continue, one deal is now reaching a positive conclusion.
Romano reports that Monaco are set to beat significant competition to sign the German international centre-back. OGC Nice, Stade Rennais and Bayern Munich were all interested in signing Kehrer. As previously reported by Foot Mercato, Les Monégasques are keen on a loan move for Kehrer, who has become an increasingly peripheral figure at West Ham this season. It is unclear whether an option to make the deal permanent will be included in the loan.
Kehrer’s return to Ligue 1 now looks imminent. The German left Paris Saint-Germain to join West Ham in August 2022.
