Several top European clubs are monitoring Ibrahima Cisse after his breakthrough season at KAA Gent, according to Foot Mercato.

The 18-year-old forward made 12 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring once, but has already attracted significant attention ahead of the summer transfer window.

In France, AS Monaco are among the clubs interested as part of their long-standing strategy of signing elite young prospects from across Europe. A potential move to the Principality could see Cissé initially join the club’s Groupe Élite development setup.

However, Monaco are expected to face strong competition for his signature. Premier League giants Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are all tracking the young forward, along with Brighton and Hove Albion.

Interest is also emerging from Germany, where Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are keeping close tabs on the Senegalese talent. At this stage, though, there are no formal talks or advanced negotiations taking place.
