Safouane Benzahra commits future to Monaco with first professional contract

Safouane Benzahra has signed his first professional contract with AS Monaco, marking a significant step in the 18-year-old’s development.

The Morocco winger has agreed a deal running until June 2029, underlining the confidence the Principality club has in his potential. The contract gives Benzahra a long-term opportunity to continue his progress at Monaco and work towards becoming part of the professional squad.

A right-footed player who operates on the left side of the attack, Benzahra is regarded as one of the young prospects within Monaco’s academy. His move into the professional ranks represents an important stage in his career, ahead of a possible sustained role at the highest level.

According to Transfermarkt, Benzahra is currently valued at 150,000 euros. The teenager now has several seasons at Monaco in which to develop his qualities and attempt to establish himself at the club.

AS Monaco will shortly play their sixth match of the French championship against Toulouse. The betting company 1xbet lists Monaco as favourites at 1.61, with a draw priced at 3.70 and a Toulouse victory at 4.10.
