Monaco Intensifies Pursuit of Frosinone’s Farès Ghedjemis
AS Monaco is reportedly increasing its efforts to secure the signing of Frosinone’s 23-year-old winger, Farès Ghedjemis, as revealed by L’Équipe. The Algerian talent is a key target for the club, which recently had an initial offer of €7 million, plus €2 million in bonuses, turned down by the Italian side, known as I Canarini. Despite this setback, Monaco remains eager, with plans to present a second bid in the coming days.
Celtic and Rangers have also expressed interest in Ghedjemis but have faced similar rejections, with their proposals hovering around €10 million going unanswered by Frosinone. The player appears receptive to the prospect of joining Ligue 1, adding to Monaco’s advantage.
Ghedjemis joined Frosinone three years ago after stints with Vannes and FC Rouen. He has since evolved into a crucial member of the Lazio squad, earning the title of Serie B Player of the Season last year. In 37 league appearances, he tallied an impressive 15 goals and provided three assists, catching the eyes of national team coach Vladimir Petković, who selected him for the World Cup with Algeria.

A priority target for the principality club, the Algerian player is said to have seen an initial offer, valued at €7m (plus €2m in bonuses), rejected by I Canarini. The setback is unlikely, however, to dampen Monaco’s enthusiasm, as they are already planning to submit a second bid in the coming days.

Celtic and Rangers, who are also interested, have likewise been rebuffed by the Italian club, which did not respond to their bids, which were in the region of €10m. The winger, for his part, is believed to be keen on the idea of joining Ligue 1.
Having played for Vannes and FC Rouen, Ghedjemis joined Frosinone three years ago, gradually establishing himself as a key member of the Lazio squad. Voted Serie B Player of the Season last term, the Algerian stood out by scoring 15 goals and providing three assists in 37 league appearances. It was these performances, in particular, that convinced Vladimir Petković to take him to the United States to compete in the World Cup with the Fennecs.
