According to L'Equipe, Monaco is satisfied with Wout Faes' contribution and wants to keep him this summer. The probability of Monaco activating the 7.5 million euro purchase option is very low due to the absence of European competition next season for the club, which finished 7th in Ligue 1. This would change if Lens wins the Coupe de France final against Nice, as that result would send Monaco to the Conference League play-off.

L'Équipe reports that Monaco has an interest in retaining Wout Faes after his loan period ends. The loan period concludes on June 30. Faes is on loan from Leicester, and the agreement contains a €7.5M purchase option. However, due to Monaco's difficult economic context, there is a low probability that the club will activate the option. Monaco is consequently considering alternative solutions, like a new loan or a renegotiation of the transfer price. Leicester has been relegated to the English third division, and Wout Faes has a contract with the club until June 2027.
