Since August 31, his contract with PSG has expired, due to lack of agreement. Discussions on an extension are still ongoing but are stuck on a few points, including image rights, reports the sports daily.
Headliners
On the other hand, the headliners of the Parisian club such as Romane Dicko, Marie-Eve Gahié, Alpha Djalo and Walide Khyar, all teammates of Riner during the mixed team event at the last Olympics, will be there.
To console itself, Montpellier can always count on other sporting events and the presence of headliners. The Hérault city is home to the Lebrun brothers all year round, a stage town for the 2025 Tour de France in July and the organizer of the French long-distance championships in June with Léon Marchand.
