Jamal Mashburn et des investisseurs américains en passe de reprendre l'AS Monaco

Jamal Mashburn, a 53-year-old former NBA player (1993-2004) who transitioned into business after a career-ending knee injury, is reportedly leading a consortium of American investors in a potential acquisition of the French basketball club AS Monaco. Mashburn previously attempted to acquire Élan Béarnais Pau-Lacq-Orthez in 2021 with figures like Rick Pitino and Stu Jackson through the American fund CounterPointe Sports Group, but that deal ultimately fell through.

The American investors are reportedly planning to inject approximately 10 million euros into the club. This move comes as AS Monaco's current players are reportedly dispersing. However, according to Nice Matin, the club has begun settling its debts with service providers, including the sports agency BeoBasket, and is expected to re-enter the transfer market.

The urgent regularization of the club's financial situation is paramount. AS Monaco must appear before the FFBB's appeals commission on July 24th, which will decide on its continued participation in the French professional league.
