Montpellier contacted Wissam Ben Yedder for an emergency helping hand to save themselves from relegation. The setbacks of the French striker have not been forgotten.
In total despair after a completely failed first part of the season, Montpellier is now looking to recruit, which it did not do last summer for financial reasons. The MHSC is obviously studying many avenues, but the one leading to Wissam Ben Yedder inevitably creates a lot of noise. The French striker has been without a club since the end of his contract at Monaco, and has been involved in several sordid affairs, often involving heavy alcohol consumption. Indicted for rape and sexual assault in 2023, he was sentenced to two years in prison for another case of sexual assault and drunken driving. And he must also soon be tried for psychological violence against his wife.
Montpellier refuses to comment on the Ben Yedder rumor
Despite this, Montpellier focuses on the athlete and wants to see if the Ben Yedder bet can be tried to revive the Hérault club, as revealed by L'Equipe. The sports daily tried to contact Laurent Nicollin to find out the club's position in relation to the actions of the Franco-Tunisian, but the president of the MHSC did not respond. But the simple fact of considering such a recruitment clearly disgusts Nicolas Puiraveau. For the Paris United consultant, this arrival is worthy of that of Mason Greenwood at OM.
« It's going to be beautiful the next Marseille-Montpellier. I'm salivating in anticipation of the Ben Yedder-Greewood duel. We'll have to find a name then. The Violentico? The Agressico? We can already eliminate the Dignitico on the other hand “, said Nicolas Puiravau, who wanted to clarify that he had also denounced the recruitment of Lucas Hernandez, convicted of domestic violence against his wife, at PSG, just to anticipate future remarks on his partisan side.
