Glik confirms Monaco move

Torino centre-back and Poland international Kamil Glik is set to move to Monaco after confirming he had agreed terms with the Ligue 1 club.

The imposing defender is set to move in a deal reportedly worth €11.5million.

"Monaco's offer was the best for me and Torino," Glik told Przeglad Sportowy.

"There was also an offer from Besiktas, but it didn't suit the club so I called off the deal.

"After five years at Torino it's time to think about the future. I needed a change, and Monaco will play in the preliminary stages of the Champions League."

The 28-year-old will be a boost to Monaco's defensive stocks after a lacklustre campaign that saw them finish in third place, conceding 50 league goals.
