He hasn't left yet. Jordanian international striker Mousa Tamari will start, a priori alongside Anfy Delort, with Montpellier this Friday (8:45 p.m.) against Lens, in the opening of the 20th day of Ligue 1, despite rumors announcing his transfer to Rennes, three days before the end of the transfer window.

According to the sports daily L’Équipe, the Montpellier leaders are in negotiations with Rennes for the transfer of Tamari, a few days after those of strikers Akor Adams to FC Seville and Arnaud Nordin to Mainz, for a total amount of €9 million with bonuses.

Rennes is looking for a replacement for Gouiri

Tamari (27 years old), under contract until June 2026, is one of the market values ​​of Montpellier, faced with a financial crisis due to the drop in TV rights.

The Ligue 1 ranking

The Jordanian winger, who arrived in Hérault in the summer of 2023, has found his wings again since the inauguration of Jean-Louis Gasset as coach at the end of October. He notably scored a double against Monaco (2-1) to revive the Hérault club's hopes of staying up.

Rennes, and its executive chairman Arnaud Pouille, are looking for a striker to compensate for the departure of Amine Gouiri to Marseille.

Delort, three days after his return

In the event of a victory against Lens, tonight at La Mosson, Jean-Louis Gasset's team would temporarily take the play-off place at the expense of Rennes, who host Strasbourg on Sunday, for the first time since the end of September.

In addition, the two recruits Nicolas Pays and especially Andy Delort, recruited during the week, are in the group of 22 players selected by coach Jean-Louis Gasset. The Sète native, loaned by Mouloudia Club d’Alger on Tuesday, could be a starter at kick-off, three and a half years after a stormy start.
