AS Monaco are expected to receive approval to compete in the 2026-27 French league season after strengthening the takeover plan led by former NBA All-Star Jamal Mashburn. According to L'Equipe, the French champions have submitted the final documents requested by the French Basketball Federation's Appeals Chamber, including a bank guarantee estimated at approximately €7 million. Barring an unexpected late setback, the revised plan is expected to be approved on Friday, securing Monaco's place in the Betclic Elite for next season.
