AS Monaco turned down a late bid from AC Milan for Thilo Kehrer during the summer transfer window. The Italian club had initially explored the possibility of a loan move and then considered a permanent transfer, but both attempts were unsuccessful. Monaco regarded the versatile German defender as indispensable for maintaining the stability of their defense following the sale of Wilfried Singo to Galatasaray. At 28, Kehrer, who featured in 40 matches and netted 5 goals across all competitions in the 2024-2025 season, was seen as a crucial component of Monaco's defensive lineup. This led Monaco to reject any potential exit for him in the final days of the window, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Kehrer's contract with the French club is valid until 2028, and his market value is estimated at €20 million by Transfermarkt.
