L’attaquant de Montpellier Arnaud Nordin, libre en juin prochain, est pisté par des clubs allemands à dix jours de la fermeture du mercato le 3 février.

After Akor Adams, Arnaud Nordin ? At a time when the Nigerian centre-forward is preparing to sign for FC Seville, the versatile winger could also leave Montpellier during this winter transfer window. The former Stéphanois, followed this summer by Lille, interests several German clubs.

Free next June, Montpellier's top scorer (4 goals), who has refused several offers of an extension from Hérault, is worried about his immediate future and wants to secure the rest of his career.

“There are still ten days of uncertainty for those coming in or going out. I knew when I arrived, and I accepted it, that the club had to balance finances and sport. It's a Chinese puzzle because it's everywhere in the team and in ten more days, we can have surprises or a dazzling offer”,summarizes Montpellier coach Jean-Louis Gasset.

Strengths

Montpellier is working hard to preserve its strengths. In particular, the two major players in the success against Monaco (2-1): striker Mousa Tamari and goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte, while looking for a center forward who could be Andy Delort. The Jordanian international striker, who scored twice against Monaco, has been on the road to renewal since Gasset was appointed. The Jordanian international winger (27 years old, 2026) wants to continue his career in Europe.

Goalkeeper Lecomte is also attracting the interest of foreign clubs, particularly Al Shabad (Saudi Arabia). The experienced goalkeeper (33 years old, 2027) rejected this offer at the beginning of the week and wants to stay in Montpellier.“The road is still long, but together, we will get there” reacted the current captain on social networks.

An eye on Meïté

Despite the emergence of young Yaël Mouanga, a starter against Monaco, and the recovery of “Kiki” Kouyaté, Montpellier is moving forward in a fragile balance in the defensive sector. And, is wondering about the opportunity to recruit a new element to compensate for the unavailability of Nikola Maksimovic, who underwent surgery on a thigh.

Montpellier is keeping an eye on the Ivorian central defender of Marseille: Bamo Meïté, little used by Roberto De Zerbi (3 matches) and placed on the transfer list. The former Lorient player (2021-23) aspires to find playing time, in Montpellier or elsewhere. However, if he can help out at right-back, he is more comfortable in the center. Having managed him for four months, on the Marseille bench, Jean-Louis Gasset knows him perfectly.
