The rag burns between Jordan Ferri and Montpellier. His trainer Michel Der Zakarian removed him from the professional group while waiting for a departure. Several Ligue 1 clubs are interested, notably AS Saint-Etienne which wants to strengthen.
Jordan Ferri and Montpellier, it looks like a love story that ends badly. Arriving in Hérault in 2019 from OL after a loan to Nîmes, the 32-year-old midfielder had established himself as an MHSC executive for several seasons. Despite four championship matches played this season, Ferri is at odds with his coach Michel Der Zakarian who left him out of the professional group. The player trains with the reserve while waiting for a way out. In theory, he must wait until the winter transfer window to make a move but the joker system can also encourage clubs interested in his profile to recruit him outside the transfer market period from the moment the targeted player is currently under contract with a French team. . Among them, AS Saint-Etienne, which hopes to strengthen itself in the midfield in the coming weeks.
ASSE targets former Lyon player Ferri
As stated by Le Quotidien du Sport, ASSE, now owned by Kilmer Sports Ventures, wishes to attract an experienced player who has more than 300 Ligue 1 matches under his belt to a position where the Greens have many young players (Ekwah, Moueffek, Amougou). A loan with a purchase option is also a possibility for the Forez club even if the MHSC favors a transfer for the moment. Only problem, Jordan Ferri is a pure product of the Olympique Lyonnais training center where he played professionally from 2012 to 2019, and the rivalry with ASSE is probably very present in his mind. It is unlikely that the operation will succeed for a player under contract in Montpellier until 2026, but the new organization chart of Saint-Etienne is ready to try. Experience will not be too much for a team engaged in the fight to maintain this season.
