Paris Brunner scored Monaco's third goal in the play-off against Gornik Zabrze and is gaining visibility after two years at the club. The 20-year-old striker had a turbulent transfer from Borussia Dortmund and a short loan spell at Cercle Brugge. In the first match of the Conference League against Gornik Zabrze, Brunner scored his first competitive goal for Monaco, two years after his transfer. The Monegassen won the first leg 3-2 in Poland, with Brunner's header as the decisive strike. The striker had moved to Monaco for four million euros in 2024, but was again sent off due to insufficient playing time and disciplinary issues. His loan at Cercle Brugge was brief, with only 1,083 competitive minutes and six goals. In the buildup to the new Ligue 1 season, Brunner made a strong impression with seven friendlies and six goals, including against Liverpool and Getafe. In the first competitive match of the season against AC Le Havre, he will get another chance to prove himself.
