Transfers: Montpellier inquires about Issiaga Sylla (Toulouse)
Romain Pitau made no secret of it this Friday at a press conference: after Nicolas Cozza’s departure from Wolfsburg, Montpellier hopes to recruit a new left-back by the end of the transfer window. ” We are waiting for another player in this position, it seems necessary to me. There are several avenues, said the MSHSC coach.
Among them is the Moldovan Oleg Reabciuk, as announced by France Bleu Hérault. The Olympiakos defender (25, 39 caps, under contract until 2025) is at the top of the pile. But the Hérault club is in a hurry and has set an ultimatum of 48 hours for the Greek club to give its answer. A loan with compulsory purchase option (around 3.5 million euros) at the end of the season, in the event of maintenance, would be the preferred option.
Augustinsson also on the Montpellier shortlist
Two other players appeal to the MHSC, starting with Issiaga Sylla. In Toulouse since 2012, the Guinean international (29 years old, 69 caps) will not be extended and therefore free in June. According to our information, Montpellier has sounded out Téfécé as to the possibility of releasing him from his last six months of contract, to recruit him for free this winter. A possible prospect since the promoted found him a replacement, with the Chilean Gabriel Suazo.
The third name on the Hérault shortlist is the Swede Ludwig Augustinsson (28 years old, 50 caps), currently on loan to Aston Villa from Sevilla FC, with whom he is engaged until 2025. But his low playing time this season in England (5 matches) could encourage him to change air.
