Nicollin’s cash outing on the rumored Ben Yedder in Montpellier

A few days ago, the rumor surprised everyone in view of the very complicated situation of Wissam Ben Yedder, at the heart of legal disputes which are not over, despite strict judicial control already in progress. Free from any contract after the end of his lease at Monaco last summer, the striker was announced by Montpellier, to bring experience and his scoring talent to a team that needs it.

Nicollin says he never thought of Ben Yedder

But Laurent Nicollin, in recent hours, has clarified things. On the RMC antenna, at the microphone of Daniel Riolo, the Montpellier president firmly denied the possibility. “Laurent Nicollin therefore contacted me and said: “I don’t understand how this story could have come out. » For now, I blame myself a little because I just had to send him a message, but this story was relayed by a lot of media… I was speechless when he told me that. Nicollin said to me: “How could this have come out? I swear to you that, not for a second, did we think about taking this player.” He told me: “I never thought about it and no one at the club will think about it. » I blame myself for not having asked him based on general information. For now, I would like to know how this thing came out. (…) I told him no problem doing the fix. He told me: “I never for a second thought about a guy like that coming to my club, it doesn’t correspond to my values. “(…) I find it very good that he tells me that he never thought about it,” Riolo confided on the air of the After.

A massive denial from Laurent Nicollin which is still surprising, insofar as Jean-Louis Gasset, questioned this weekend on the subject, did not deny the rumor at all, even confiding that his team clearly needed ‘a player in his profile.
