Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pape Matar Sarr is nearing a season-long loan move to AS Monaco. The 23-year-old Senegal international, who is under contract until June 2030, has reportedly reached a personal agreement with the Ligue 1 club and held discussions with coach Filipe Luís regarding his project and salary. This move would see Sarr return to the French league, where he previously played for FC Metz.

As the summer transfer window approaches its close, Sarr’s departure appears increasingly likely. Manager Roberto De Zerbi has indicated that an exit remains a possibility, noting that the club has been clear with players regarding their status. Sarr was reportedly informed by officials that he is not part of the sporting plans for the current season following the arrivals of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes. The player has reportedly expressed frustration with this decision, notably removing club-related photos from his social media profiles.

While Monaco continues to explore a loan option, other Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, have made official inquiries. To offset recent expenditures on new signings, Tottenham has reportedly valued Sarr between £30 million and £50 million for Premier League clubs, or approximately €25 million to €30 million for international buyers.
