AS Monaco have announced the club has activated the buy option for Thilo Kehrer. The 27 years old German international centre-back, who arrived in January 2024 from West Ham United (Premier League) has signed a four-season deal and is now linked to les Rouge & Blanc until June 2028.
Thilo Kehrer arrived on loan during the winter transfer window and has quickly adapted to the AS Monaco squad, contributing to qualification for the UEFA Champions League next season.
With 14 games played, including a run of eight games without defeat and clean sheets against Paris Saint-Germain (0-0), Stade Rennes (1-0) and OSC Lille (1-0), the international defender who has 27 caps for Germany played a full part in the race for the podium, as the team finished second in Ligue 1 and qualified directly for the Champions League.
The native of Tübingen is familiar with European competitions, having won the UEFA Conference League with West Ham last season and played in the Champions League final with Paris in 2020. This rich experience is something that Thilo will be able to continue to put to good use for the red and white team.
Thilo Kehrer said, “I’m very happy and proud to continue my adventure with AS Monaco. When I arrived in January, I was very well welcomed by my teammates and the staff, the club employees and the supporters. We’ve already had a lot of positive moments, like finishing in second place, which guarantees a place in next season’s Champions League, and I hope to have many more with this jersey!”
