Bad news for Younès Belhanda. The Moroccan international will ultimately not return to his favorite club, Montpellier. A blow for the one who will have to quickly find a new club.
According to the team, the Ligue 1 club, faced with financial difficulties since the TV rights crisis does not have the necessary funds to bring back Younès Belhanda, the one with whom he was champion of France in 2012, as explained by President Laurent Nicollin , who dreamed of his return.
“Right now, I can’t get him signed for financial reasons, the leader explained to Free noon, eight days ago. It would have been fabulous, but for the moment it is not possible ”.
“As he had made a great effort, we had agreed on the financial plan. I thank him for that. If he has an opportunity, he can sign elsewhere ”, he added. The Atlas Lion had a three-year contract that he would normally sign in the days to come.
The Moroccan has many options, especially on the side of Al-Hilal who had grappled with the Atlas Lion, offering him a 3-year contract in exchange for an annual salary of 5 million euros.
Belhanda had previously been announced close to signing for Olympiakos after being fired from Galatasaray in early March for “damaging the club”. The former OGC Nice had also been linked with a move to Spain in the ranks of Valencia or Seville.
Belhanda made 27 appearances for the Yellow-Reds, scoring eight goals and providing three assists. He started his senior career in Montpellier but will still have to wait to make his comeback.
