Eliesse Ben Seghir is experiencing a lively transfer window this summer at Monaco. Several Serie A clubs, notably Napoli and Juventus, are fiercely competing to secure the services of the Moroccan attacking midfielder, who is also on OM's radar.

Since his explosive debut in Ligue 1, Ben Seghir (9 goals, 4 assists) has never stopped turning heads. His technical profile and attacking versatility are particularly appealing. Under contract with Monaco until 2027, the Moroccan international (11 caps, 3 goals) has sparked a real tug-of-war among European clubs. Starting in France, some OM executives have reportedly identified him as a target and begun informal talks with Monaco, although no formal offer has yet been made.

But in Italy, Napoli are moving more concretely. The reigning Italian champions are looking to inject fresh energy into their attack and see Ben Seghir as a potential successor to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Talks are underway between the Neapolitans and Monaco, with a possible offer in the region of €40 million. Not to be overlooked, Juventus have also reportedly entered the race, but with a lower bid (around €30 million).

Interest in Ben Seghir isn’t limited to Italy. Some sources report that Barça remain in the hunt, but their limited financial resources make an offer complicated. Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that the situation remains uncertain, with Monaco yet to make a definitive decision on the future of their Moroccan international.
