The MHSC wants to bring back Aguilar (Lens)…
MHSC player between 2017 and 2019, Ruben Aguilar is currently at RC Lens, but could well return to Montpellier. Indeed, according to Mohamed Toubache-Ter, the right-back would have expressed his desire to return, whatever the sporting context. He is a serious avenue to strengthen the Pailladin corridor, but he remains under contract until 2026 with the RCL. Very close to a return after a shoulder injury, he has only played 5 games this season.
…and strongly denies for Ben Yedder
In the columns of Midi Libre, Laurent Nicollin firmly denied having started discussions to sign Wissam Ben Yedder (34), recently contacted for sexual assault and without a club since his departure from Monaco last summer:
“It was never a lead. We take a lot of it but we have never discussed financially with Ben Yedder. If every time someone calls to offer a player, we have to justify whether we take him or not… I know that we are considered a club of idiots, worthless and incompetent, but if we take someone one, we want an active player present in a club. We are last, we are not going to wait two months before it is competitive.”
LOSC: Genesio puts huge pressure on after Auxerre
At the end of the draw on the Auxerre pitch (0-0), Bruno Genesio, coach of LOSC, let out a huge rant. “It’s January, it’s always special. I will be clear: those who want to play for LOSC, let them say it clearly. If they don’t want to or want enough, they also have to say so so that we can make adjustments with the president. I feel a little difference in the spirit of the group. It teases me. (…) I’m not going to give you names, I’m not completely crazy,” reported L’Équipe.
The Lille coach also spoke about the transfer window: “I also think that there is a transfer window, in one direction or another, we will have to make decisions at some point. I’m going to talk about it with my president after this match.”
OGC Nice is stuck for the extension of Bulka and wants to shield Doumbouya…

On the other hand, OGC Nice will make sure to extend one of its nuggets.

Today, he is part of the AS Monaco squad. Everyone knows that the Mercato has been open since the 1is January. We’ll see. There are always speculations and rumors. I don’t want to be part of these rumors.”
