Sarr will unable to feature for Chelsea much this season after the arrival of Kalidou Koulibaly from Serie A side Napoli this summer. This is what led to his loan move to the French Ligue 1 giants this summer.

Chelsea released an official statement on their website to confirm Malang Sarr’s loan move to AS Monaco.
“Malang Sarr will spend the 2022/23 season on loan at Monaco.The French defender returns to his homeland for the coming campaign, where he began his career just a little further along the coast with Nice, becoming a first-team regular at the age of 17 before joining Chelsea in 2020 and signing a five-year contract with the club,” the club confirmed.
