And one of the three original members has just been extended for three additional seasons. The Principality club announced this Saturday, April 19, that it had reached an agreement to keep Alpha Diallo until 2028.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"normal\">\n<p><em>\u201cI have been here since the start of the adventure in the Euroleague almost 4 years ago. It&#39;s amazing to see the path traveled. Monaco is really like my second house now. The club, the fans, the city, I am fulfilled and happy in this context. At this point, it&#39;s more than basketball. There is a real connection, and prolonging was obvious. I feel fully invested in this club, surrounded by passionate people, and proud to contribute to its development on the European scene. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Alpha Diallo<\/strong> in the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/asmonaco.basketball\/news\/show.php?ID=64897\">press release<\/a> you club<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4 style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>A regular swing knife<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Since his arrival from Greece after four years from NCAA, Diallo has been a real Swiss knife for the various coaches who have followed one another. If he rarely explodes the meters offensively, he is one of the most constant Monegasques on both sides of the field. His outdoor shot has exceeded 40% this season for the first time since his arrival in the Euroleague. Hence the desire to have him play coaches, who know what to expect with him. This season on the European scene, the American-Guinean is still the fourth most used player on the team and the fifth best marker. While being, according to a vote of the players in mid-season, the best defender of the competition.<\/p>\n<p>It will now be necessary to observe which will be the next parts to be extended. AS Monaco seems to show a desire to activate on the transfer window this summer. Several rumors of Big Euroleague&#39;s big players are already on the papers. Engaged in playoffs against Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe Roca Team will try to do better than elimination in the first round in 2023\/24.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">&#x1f512; Alpha Diallo extends to Monaco! &#x1f1f2;&#x1f1e8;<\/p>\n<p>&#x1f9be; Strong man of the Roca Team for four years and the start of the Euroleague adventure, Alpha Diallo will be Monegasque the next three seasons &#x270d;&#xfe0f;<\/p>\n<p>&#x1f5e3; press release and interview to find on our site &#x1f4dd;<br \/>&#x1f449;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OeP81rqDvy\">https:\/\/t.co\/OeP81rqDvy<\/a>\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LjZEBku4C0\">pic.twitter.com\/LjZEBku4C0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 AS Monaco Basket &#x1f1f2;&#x1f1e8; (@ASMonaco_Basket) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ASMonaco_Basket\/status\/1913503151216296223?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Since arriving in the Euroleague in 2021, AS Monaco has continued to keep a solid player base.
