Lucas Michal signs his first professional contract!
Although he won’t turn 18 until June 22 Lucas Michal has already had a rich career with the Academy, which he has been a part of since the summer of 2020. The native of Ivry-sur-Seine, in Val-de-Marne, began his career at US Ivry before playing for Paris FC and US Torcy.
A Coupe Gambardella winner with the U-18s
The young striker also spent time at the Pôle Espoirs de Reims before coming to the Principality. A recent winner of the Coupe Gambardella with the U18s coached by Frédéric Barilaro and Manu Dos Santos, Lucas Michal contributed in a big way to this success, AS Monaco’s fifth in the competition, taking part in six of the seven games played.
A goalscorer in the Round of 64 against Aubagne (4-1) then in the next round against Nancy (3-0), he also had an assist in the final against Clermont Foot (4-2). These performances have allowed him to join the Elite Group and participate in the Monegasque victory against Olympique Lyonnais (3-2) this Saturday.
Already a part of the Elite Group
A starter in this match, Lucas Michal even won a penalty, converted by his teammate Enzo Baglieri. First called up with the French U-16s, he also has 9 caps with the France U-17s (1 goal, 1 assist).
AS Monaco wishes him all the best in Rouge et Blanc. Congratulations Lucas!
