Monaco eyes long‑term lock on rising star Mamadou Coulibaly
2028 marks the year when Mamadou Coulibaly’s current contract with AS Monaco expires, and advanced negotiations are already under way to secure a new deal, according to a report by Nice‑Matin. The 22‑year‑old midfielder is poised to extend his stay at the Principality club.
Nice‑Matin Coulibaly, a 22‑year‑old midfielder, is in advanced talks to extend his contract with AS Monaco. The discussions underline the club’s intent to retain the young talent.
The proposed agreement would replace his existing deal, which runs until the summer of 2028. No details on the length of the new contract have been disclosed.
Monaco pursued Coulibaly after he began to break through toward the end of last season, following his return from an ACL injury. His emergence coincided with his first season as a regular in the Principality club’s first‑team set‑up.
During that campaign Coulibaly featured in 36 games across all competitions, scoring three goals and providing five assists. Those contributions highlighted his growing influence on the pitch.
While his current contract expires in 2028, Nice‑Matin understands that talks to extend the deal further are progressing positively. The exact duration of any new agreement remains undisclosed.
The prospective new contract would keep Coulibaly at the Principality club beyond his current 2028 expiry. This would ensure continuity for Monaco’s midfield options.
Monaco’s recent extension of academy defender Samuel Nibombe to the summer of 2030, reported by L’Équipe, underscores the club’s focus on retaining home‑grown talent. Coulibaly’s situation fits this broader retention strategy.
