Monaco near agreement to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s Lukas Hradecky | OneFootball

AS Monaco’s pursuit of a new No.1 has gone on all summer, however, they may soon have their man. L’Équipe understands that Bayer Leverkusen’s Lukas Hradceky (35) could soon join the Principality club, with an agreement between the two clubs drawing closer.

At the start of the summer, CEO Thiago Scuro announced that the club were in the market for a new goalkeeper, with the current options, Philipp Köhn and Radoslaw Majecki, failing to convince over the long run.

Numerous goalkeepers have been targeted, including Djordje Petrovic, Marcin Bulka, and David De Gea. The former two have completed moves elsewhere, whilst the latter ultimately extended at Fiorentina.

Monaco have since honed in on the experienced Hradecky. L’Équipe understands that Bayer Leverkusen have demanded €4m, whilst a €2m bid was rejected by the Bundesliga side. However, a deal between the two clubs is nearing. The Finnish goalkeeper said he was open to a new challenge, following the arrival of Mark Flekken from Brentford.
