[Mercato] Discussions and a verbal agreement with Andy Delort for Montpellier?

During a Twitter Space, Mohamed Toubache-Ter discussed the rumors surrounding a possible return of Andy Delort to Montpellier Hérault SC. Contrary to certain information circulating in recent days, no loan offer has been made by the Hérault club at Mouloudia d'Algiers, where the striker is currently playing. However, he confirmed that discussions took place between the player and Montpellier in mid-December. And even that a verbal agreement would exist.

Andy Delort, continuing his summer position, would have this time expressed his wish to return to help the club stay in Ligue 1, a crucial objective for the Pailladins in a particularly difficult season. For their part, the Montpellier leaders, while regretting certain past choices on the subject, consider that the attacker could be a solution to strengthen the team in this fight for maintenance. Particularly to answer calls from the locker room looking for a scorer. Laurent Nicollin and Jean-Louis Gasset are in regular contact with the player, the latter not hiding his interest in his return. However, despite frequent exchanges between the Sète striker and president of the MHSC, discussions on a possible transfer are calm for the moment.

At the same time, Mohamed Toubache-Ter specifies that another offensive avenue is being studied: that of a French attacker currently playing in Italy. This file, although considered complex, would consider a loan with an option to purchase. To move forward in this transfer window, however, Montpellier must first sell players.

The outcome of these various files will logically depend on the likely future sales in the home stretch of this winter transfer window.
