Montpellier defender Falaye Sacko appears set to leave the club during the upcoming winter transfer window. The Malian international, who has struggled for game time recently, has not started in Montpellier’s last three matches, signaling a potential turning point in his tenure with the Ligue 1 side.
Sacko, 29, has featured in 10 league matches this season but finds himself increasingly on the periphery of the squad. According to L’Équipe, Turkish Super Lig club Konyaspor is already in talks with Montpellier to secure the services of the right-back.
Financial difficulties may play a decisive role in Montpellier’s willingness to part with Sacko. The club, facing economic constraints, could use the transfer to ease its financial burden.
The defender, who previously played for AS Saint-Étienne, represents a viable asset that could help generate much-needed revenue during this challenging period.
Montpellier has not yet commented on Sacko’s situation, but reports suggest the club is unlikely to resist his departure should an agreement with Konyaspor be finalized.
For Sacko, this move could provide an opportunity to revitalize his career and gain more consistent playing time in a new league.
The defender’s future remains uncertain, but with negotiations reportedly underway, it seems increasingly likely that Sacko’s time in Montpellier is drawing to a close.
As the January transfer window approaches, both club and player may see this as a mutually beneficial parting of ways.
