Free since his departure from AS Monaco last June, Wissam Ben Yedder is well targeted by Montpellier during this winter transfer window. But the French international will only join the Hérault club on one condition.
Despite his legal troubles, Wissam Ben Yedder interests Montpellier, in great danger in Ligue 1 and who needs an experienced scorer to stay on the gong during this second half of the season. A specialist in operations of this type, Jean-Louis Gasset knows that he needs an experienced attacker to achieve his objective. After making Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang shine in Marseille last year, the 71-year-old coach would like to do it again but this time with Wissam Ben Yedder at MHSC.
Free since the end of his contract with AS Monaco in June, the French international, aware of the precariousness of his situation after his problems with the law, will not be greedy in terms of his salary. But does the Hérault club have the means to bring in Wissam Ben Yedder, even if the latter makes big salary efforts? Jean-Louis Gasset answered this question on DAZN after MHSC’s defeat against OL, simply stating that Montpellier was obliged to sell before recruiting this winter.
Gasset sets the conditions for the arrival of Ben Yedder
“Ben Yedder?” This is the type of player we are looking for, an experienced player, a goalscorer. There are others. But for that, we have to sell players. I have always said it: we will take where we sell. So we’re going to have a terrible January (laughs). No arrivals without departures? I don’t think so » slipped into the microphone of DAZN the coach of Montpellier, half-heartedly confirming his interest in Wissam Ben Yedder, but who explains that his club must sell before being able to go for the striker who notably shone at Toulouse or at Sevilla FC during his career. On the Montpellier side, we of course hope that a solution will be found to bring in an attacker of this caliber, even if on a moral level, not everyone will see it in view of the convictions of which Wissam Ben Yedder has recently been the subject.
