According to L’Equipe, multiple clubs in France and abroad have added Khalil Fayad (20) to their shortlist. The 20-year-old midfielder, who is under contract with Montpellier until 2027, could be offloaded by the Southern side, which is facing financial issues.
One of the clubs being the most impacted by Ligue 1’s TV rights issues, Montpellier need to raise funds this summer, and will be forced to sell some of their best players in order to avoid being in trouble financially. While the Southern club was expected to receive lots of interest for France U23 international Joris Chotard (22) or other key players such as Téji Savanier (32) and Arnaud Nordin (26), none of them has gathered proper interest yet. Becir Omeragic (22) has long been targeted by Everton, but Montpellier could now offload one of their brightest talents.
According to a report by L’Equipe, Fayad is gathering lots of interest in Ligue 1 and abroad, with Borussia Mönchengladbach, RC Lens, AS Monaco, and Stade Rennais all targeting a move for the 20-year-old midfielder. Last season, Fayad took part in 26 games across all competitions, logging three goals.
