According to a report from Sacha Tavolieri, Pape Cabral has declined a move to Al Ahli SC. The AS Monaco midfielder decided to stay where he is happy because various changes within the Saudi club no longer guaranteed the project presented to him. The management of AS Monaco validated the choice.

According to L'Équipe, the potential transfer of Pape Cabral to Al-Ahli for 10 million euros may not proceed, even though the player was reportedly expected to join. The Saudi club's sporting director is facing strong criticism, and supporters have objected to the transfer fee, which they consider too high. Another player is also being considered by the club.

According to L'Équipe, Monaco and Al-Ahli have reached an agreement for the transfer of Pape Cabral. The deal is for a fee of 10 million euros and will include a 15% sell-on clause. The transfer will be made official after the French U19 international completes his medical tests and it is validated by the PIF, the Saudi royal fund. Pape Cabral has received authorization to undergo his medical examination before signing with Al-Ahli.

Pape Cabral, a 19-year-old French-Senegalese midfielder for Monaco, could move to Saudi club Al-Ahli for a fee of 10 million euros. The potential transfer is happening as Monaco needs funds to balance its accounts for the DNCG, possibly in response to the failed sale of Folarin Balogun to Everton. Al-Ahli contacted Monaco for Cabral, and discussions between the clubs have advanced quickly, with an agreement reportedly close. The deal is facilitated by the later closing of the Saudi transfer window. Monaco's general director, Thiago Scuro, recently stated publicly that players other than Lamine Camara and Balogun might leave. Cabral, who recently extended his contract until June 2031, was not in the squad for the recent match against Marseille. He has 6 caps and 2 goals for the France U19 team. His current market value is €1.20m, according to Transfermarkt.
