French striker Wissam Ben Yedder has left South Africa to settle in Monaco for five years under a $ 45 million deal, the club said Wednesday.
In three seasons, the Tunisian has become the fourth-leading scorer in the history of the Andalusian club (70 goals in 138 games) and has played four games for France, scoring only one goal.
The 29-year-old will be back in the French league that he left in 2016 after six seasons in Toulouse.
"Wessam is a very talented player, a full striker, who proved his goal in Toulouse and Seville, but also in international competitions," Oleg Petrov said in a statement. He is also a player with an ideal mind. "
According to several sources close to the French club, Monaco will invest 40 million euros (about 45 million dollars) in the signing of Ben Yedder.
Meanwhile, Portuguese striker Rooney Lopez, who has a contract with Monaco until 2022, will take the opposite route to Seville with a 20 million euros contract.
