Having spent three successful years at Southampton, where he made a total of 80 appearances in all competitions, Salisu leaves the club with the best wishes for his future endeavors. The decision to pursue this move was influenced by Southampton’s relegation to the Championship, making AS Monaco a logical step for the player’s career progression.
The move marks an exciting new chapter for Mohammed Salisu as he joins the ranks of AS Monaco, eager to showcase his defensive prowess and contribute to the team’s success in the seasons ahead.
