Lucas Michal is attracting interest from several clubs, including Lausanne, Nantes, and Brest. He chose not to participate in the elite group match against PSG as a way to express his dissatisfaction with Monaco's management, which is now against his departure. Previously, Monaco had suggested that a departure was possible if it was a definitive transfer, but they have now closed the door on this option. They cited the necessity to maintain a sufficient number of club-trained players for the Champions League as the reason. Michal, who remains under contract with AS Monaco until 2029, opted not to risk playing and possibly getting injured just days before the transfer window closes, as he questions the advantage of playing against much younger players. The situation remains unresolved with only a few days remaining in the transfer window.
