On Wednesday, Monaco will take on Juventus in what will be an intriguing Champions League tie. The French and Italian outfits will battle it out in the semi-final, as a high-flying Bianconeri side takes on Les Rouges et Blancs’s sensational youngsters.
Leonardo Jardim’s side have been nothing short of impressive this season. They are on their way to the Ligue 1 title, with their attacking style raking in rave reviews. As a result, several European giants will be at hand in Wednesday’s game to scout Monaco’s players.
According to the Daily Mail, the likes of Man City, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Real Madrid will be present at Stade Louis II. The Citizens will send sporting director Txiki Begiristain to watch the French leaders, with Kylian Mbappe being the biggest attraction.

The French forward, only 18, is already being compared to Thierry Henry. Thus, claims he is being linked with a mega-million dollar move to Santiago Bernabeu is not surprising.
But Mbappe won’t be the only attraction. Tiemoue Bakayoko has been closely followed by Antonio Conte, with the Chelsea boss likely to attend Wednesday’s game if “the next Yaya Toure” hadn’t suffered a broken nose. Then there is Bernardo Silva, one of Europe’s most exciting playmakers, with left-back Benjamin Mendy also receiving high ratings.
Monaco are known for developing promising players in order to sell them to the highest bidders. Many of their current players could stay past the summer, but expect their biggest names to be sold for huge sums.
