[Mercato] Wissam Ben Yedder in discussions with Montpellier

According to information reported by The TeamMontpellier Hérault SC are reportedly in talks with French international Wissam Ben Yedder. Free from any contract after five seasons spent at AS Monaco, the experienced striker is reportedly looking for a new challenge. The MHSC, in search of offensive reinforcements, could afford a player with an impressive CV to boost its attack.

However, this possible recruitment does not fail to raise questions. Indeed, Wissam Ben Yedder is currently under judicial supervision, with a reporting obligation, after having been tried for acts of drunkenness (he is also treating his addiction) and sexual assault. He received a two-year suspended prison sentence. He also remains subject to other ongoing cases. Although his legal situation does not prevent him from playing football, it inevitably raises moral questions.

On a sporting level, the state of form of Ben Yedder, at 34 years old, also remains unknown. If he is still able to demonstrate his talent on the field, his withdrawal from the field for months and his ability to manage the media pressure surrounding his case will be closely scrutinized.

It remains to be seen whether this operation is real and whether it will materialize in the days to come.
