Montpellier is actively seeking a center forward, and Djibril Cissé has emerged as a potential target. Jean Fernandez, the new coach of Montpellier, aims to reinforce the team’s offensive capabilities. In an interview with lequipe.fr, Fernandez confirmed the club’s interest in the Franco-Ivorian striker from QPR, although the player’s salary could pose a challenge.
Louis Nicollin, the president of Montpellier, expressed optimism about the possibility of Cissé joining the team, noting that the striker is willing to make financial sacrifices. Nicollin mentioned to Midi Libre, “Frankly, he is willing to make financial sacrifices. Compared to what he earned elsewhere, he is not greedy.” However, he acknowledged that the final decision rests with the coach, stating, “But hey, it’s not me who decides, it’s my coach. And I don’t know if it’s really hot…”
Having spent five years abroad in England (Sunderland, Queens Park Rangers), Greece (Panathinaikos), Italy (Lazio Rome), and Qatar (Al-Gharafa), Djibril Cissé could be on the verge of returning to France. With QPR relegated to the English second division and Cissé under contract, a move back to France seems likely for the experienced French striker.
