In a move that solidifies the foundation of AS Monaco’s squad, Aleksandr Golovin, the Russian maestro in midfield, has committed his future to the Principality until 2029. The announcement marks the continuation of a journey that has seen Golovin evolve into one of Monaco’s most integral players, a player who embodies the club’s ambitions both domestically and on the European stage.
Golovin’s influence this season is unmistakable. The dynamic number 10 has already featured in six matches, helping Monaco rise to co-leaders of Ligue 1. His contributions have been critical, from securing a thrilling 2-1 victory over Barcelona in the Champions League to a hard-fought 2-2 draw in Zagreb. The season is young, but Golovin’s magic is already making waves.
This isn’t Golovin’s first dance in Europe’s elite competition. He debuted in the Champions League with Monaco during the 2018-2019 season, shortly after arriving from CSKA Moscow. Since then, he has been a constant presence on the field, racking up 209 appearances, 31 goals, and 39 assists. These numbers don’t just highlight his longevity—they place him as Monaco’s most capped player in the current squad, a testament to his consistency and impact.
The 28-year-old has been a driving force for Monaco in recent years, with back-to-back standout seasons. Over the last two campaigns alone, Golovin has played 72 matches, delivering 14 goals and 14 assists. His creativity and vision have made him the most prolific assist provider in Ligue 1 for Monaco, with 33 assists since 2018—surpassing even club star Joao Moutinho.
Golovin Speaks Out
Speaking on his contract extension, Golovin was clearly thrilled: “I’m really happy to extend my stay here. The club has shown tremendous faith in me, and I’m eager to repay that by continuing to give everything for AS Monaco. I’m confident we have a lot more success ahead of us.”
With Golovin tied down for the long term, Monaco’s future looks bright. The club, brimming with young talent and seasoned leadership, is poised for continued success in both Ligue 1 and Europe. Golovin’s presence ensures they will have a key piece of the puzzle as they chase glory.
Aleksandr Golovin’s story with the club is far from finished, and fans can look forward to many more magical moments from their midfield magician.
