A loan move for the 19-year-old French-Guinean defensive midfielder Aladji Bamba to Ligue 2 club Red Star was nearly concluded during a period of nearly three months when the midfielder was not playing for Monaco. The potential transfer, which came after he had extended his contract until 2030, was ultimately cancelled after an accumulation of injuries altered the situation at his club. His current Transfermarkt market value is €10.00m, and he has made seven appearances for the France U20 national team.
