President Laurent Nicollin, who presented the club's accounts on Wednesday before the financial policeman, will have no constraints in recruiting.

Relief in this uncertain time. President Laurent Nicollin, accompanied by Philippe Peybernes, general manager, and David Humbert, auditor, presented the MHSC accounts to the national management control department (DNCG) on Wednesday.

The financial policeman validated the accounts and took no action against the Hérault club, free to recruit and ranked 12th in the League.

Waiting for TV rights

For the moment, Laurent Nicollin is mainly waiting for the outcome of the renewal of the TV rights contract. Two months before the resumption of Ligue 1, the LFP, and its president Vincent Labrune, has still not found an agreement for the next five seasons (2024-29) with the various broadcasters.

Montpellier is therefore not in a position to recruit and for example to compensate for the absence of central defender Christopher Jullien, victim of a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right knee on May 19 in Lens during of the 34th and final day of Ligue 1.

"Everything went well, already looking ahead", posted Tuesday evening on the social networks the former Celtic Glasgow defender (31 years old) after his operation in a clinic in Montpellier.

Sakho signed up for Georgia

Jullien, under contract until June 2025, should be unavailable until the next winter break. And, Montpellier coach Michel Der Zakarian only has three central defenders with the Swiss international Becir Omeragic and the two Malian internationals "Kiki" Kouyaté and Modibo Sagnan.

Meanwhile, former French international from Montpellier Mamadou Sakho (34 years old, 28 caps) signed up for Torpedo Kutaisi, a Georgian club. The defender trained at Paris SG, passed through Liverpool and Crystal Palace, was free since the termination of contract negotiated in the fall with Montpellier. On Tuesday October 24, at the end of training, Sakho, frustrated by his playing time, had an altercation with Der Zak. And thus precipitated his exit.
