Saïmon Bouabré Makes Surprise Move to NEOM SC in Saudi Arabia

Young French midfielder Saïmon Bouabré has made a big move from AS Monaco to NEOM SC. NEOM SC is a new team in the Saudi Pro League. The transfer, worth €10 million plus add-ons, is a major step for both Bouabré and the club, as confirmed by a recent report on his transfer details here.

DETAILS OF THE TRANSFER

Bouabré, who is just 19, grew up in Monaco‘s youth system. He is considered one of France’s most promising young talents. NEOM SC signed him to a five-year contract, with a €10 million fee and potential bonuses that could bring the total to €12 million. There is also a sell-on clause. Other clubs like Marseille and West Ham were interested, but NEOM SC’s offer was strong enough to win the transfer. Bouabré will join his new teammates after passing medical tests in Saudi Arabia.

MONACO’S LOSS, NEOM’S BIG BOOST

Bouabré leaves AS Monaco after making a name for himself with the French U20 national team. He had 12 appearances and scored one goal last season. Although he was not a regular starter for Monaco, he was expected to play more in the upcoming Ligue 1 season. Monaco finished third in Ligue 1 and want to do well again, but they lose a promising midfielder just as the new season starts. Meanwhile, NEOM SC continues to make news in the Saudi Pro League by signing high-profile players to become a top team.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR BOUABRÉ AND NEOM SC?

With the Saudi Pro League starting soon, NEOM SC hopes to quickly include Bouabré in their squad. The club is getting ready for their first season in the top flight. Their first match is against former champions Al Hilal, who finished second last year. NEOM SC topped the Saudi First Division and are expected to fight to stay in the league. Fans and clubs in both Europe and the Middle East are watching Bouabré’s move closely. Many believe he will become a key player for NEOM SC and develop over the next five years.
