The Monaco transfer saga continues, with the club seeking a replacement for their star striker, Islam Slimani, who has decided to join Al-Ahly in Egypt on loan until the end of the season.

Slimani's departure from Monaco is a blow to the Ligue 1 side, as he has been one of their most important players this season. He has scored 16 goals and provided seven assists in just 22 league appearances, helping them maintain their position at the top of the table.

However, slimani has also been a key player for Algeria in international football, and his decision to leave Monaco will be a big loss for both clubs. In his place, Monaco have signed Brazilian forward, Raul Jimenez, from Manchester United on a permanent deal.

Jimenez is a highly rated striker who has already made a significant impact in his short time at the club. He has scored eight goals in six games since joining, including a brace against Lille last weekend. His arrival should provide much-needed support for Monaco's attack, which has struggled at times this season.

In terms of the transfer itself, it seems that Monaco have done well to secure a loan deal for Slimani. The Algerian has previously played for Monaco and has fond memories of the club, so it makes sense that he would want to return to the team where he had such success.

Overall, the Monaco transfer saga shows how important it is to have depth and quality strikers in any team. By signing Jimenez, Monaco have shown they are willing to invest in their squad and give themselves the best chance of success this season. It remains to be seen whether this move will pay off, but it certainly looks like Monaco are doing everything possible to improve their chances of winning the title.
