It appears that Montpellier is actively working on reconstructing its team. After securing Jean Fernandez as the coach and Djamel Bakar for the attack, the focus now seems to be on strengthening the defense, particularly the left-back position.
With the likely departure of Henri Bédimo, Montpellier is in search of a replacement, and one player on their radar is Jérôme Roussillon from Sochaux. The 20-year-old left-back, originally from Guadeloupe, is under contract with Sochaux until 2015. Despite Sochaux’s desire to retain him, Montpellier sees Roussillon as a priority for their defensive lineup.
However, the competition for Roussillon’s signature is tough, as both Lyon and Monaco are also interested in the French U20 international. To secure his services, Montpellier will need to present a convincing offer and demonstrate why joining their team would be a beneficial move for the promising young player. The negotiations might involve various factors such as playing time, development opportunities, and the overall project that Montpellier envisions for the upcoming seasons.
