Olympique de Marseille was interested in this promising striker of AS Monaco, but it will spin in Saudi Arabia.
And more French hope in Saudi Arabia! Nice promise of AS Monaco, where he was sometimes compared to a certain Kylian Mbappé, Saimon Bouabré had several opportunities this summer at the transfer window.
The 19 -year -old attacking midfielder, International U20 with the Blueberries, was notably in the viewfinder of Olympique de Marseille. But the native of Saint-Etienne therefore chose to give in to the Saudi sirens, according to RMC, and will in turn commit to the Neom SC.
The promoted in Saudi Pro League, now directed by Christophe Galtier, decidedly loves Ligue 1 players. He had attracted Saïd Benrahma (OL) last January, and continues this summer by welcoming Alexandre Lacazette (OL), Marcin Bulka (Nice) or Amadou Koné (Reims).
An XXL salary in Saudi Arabia
Nathan Zézé, which has become the biggest sale in the history of FC Nantes (the transfer will exceed 20 million euros), was as follows. And with Saimon Bouabré, it is another young player of Ligue 1 who leaves (very quickly) in Saudi Arabia, after only 5 appearances among professionals with ASM.
RMC indicates that the Neom SC has proposed an XXL salary to its new recruit. It was the same with Nathan Zézé, for whom Ouest-France had given some figures. The young defender received 25,000 euros gross per month, and will receive around 400,000 euros per month in Saudi Arabia. Villarreal, a qualified club for the Champions League, had offered him a salary of 120,000 euros monthly.
