# Coventry: Fresh twist in Jonathan Panzo transfer race

**Coventry City have been dealt a blow in their hopes of signing Monaco defender Jonathan Panzo, [according to Coventry Telegraph.](https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/jonathan-panzo-monaco-manager-sacked-18620172?a)**

Sky Blues boss Mark Robins has been one of the busiest managers in the English Football League since the end of the 2019/20 season, making four new signings already this summer.

The spree began with the arrival of [Gustavo Hamer](https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2020/july/transfer-gustavo-hamer-joins-sky-blues/) from PEC Zwolle to bolster Coventry’s midfield, before [Julien Dacosta](https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2020/july/transfer-julien-dacosta-signs-for-city/) joined from Chamois Niortais on a free transfer and a third summer arrival came when [Callum O’Hare](https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2020/july/transfer-callum-ohare-joins-coventry-city/) agreed a permanent move to the club after spending last term on loan at the Sky Blues from Aston Villa.

Marcel Hilssner’s signing was then [announced](https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2020/july/transfer-marcel-hilssner-joins-sky-blues/) on Thursday, moving to the club from German side Paderborn, and interest in Panzo had also [developed.](https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/jonathan-panzo-chelsea-city-monaco-18610859)

Valued at £2.4m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonathan-panzo/profil/spieler/392777), Panzo is uncertain of his future with Ligue 1 side Monaco, having spent last season on loan with Belgian club Cercle Brugge.

With Coventry being linked with the 19-year-old, a fresh report has now provided an update claiming that the former Chelsea youngster [could still have a future with the French club.](https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/jonathan-panzo-monaco-manager-sacked-18620172?a)

The [report](https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/jonathan-panzo-monaco-manager-sacked-18620172?a) goes on to add that the sacking of coach Robert Moreno at the Stade Louis II has opened up the potential of a new opportunity at the club for the teenage defender.

Panzo, an [Under-17 World Cup winner](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonathan-panzo/erfolge/spieler/392777) with England three years ago, would be a superb signing for Coventry but it seems that any such move will depend on whether or not the next Monaco manager wants him to play a part at the Ligue 1 side next season.

The mere fact that the Sky Blues are showing interest should be a welcome delight for the club’s fans, who have already seen four new players arrive as Robins strengthens the pack ahead of their Championship campaign.
