Rod Fanni Set to Remain in Ligue 1 After Premier League Move Falls Through
By BBC Sport
Rod Fanni’s anticipated move to the English Premier League has reportedly collapsed, paving the way for the seasoned right-back to continue his career in Ligue 1. The Franco-Beninese defender, currently under contract with Olympique de Marseille until 2015, has attracted interest from Montpellier, who have already approached Marseille regarding a possible transfer.
At 32 years old, Fanni is no longer part of coach Marcelo Bielsa’s plans at Marseille. According to French daily L’Equipe, the defender is reportedly keen on the new challenge Montpellier could offer him.
If the move materializes, Fanni would follow in the footsteps of Morgan Amalfitano, another experienced Ligue 1 player who recently revitalized his career within the French top flight.
Fanni’s potential switch to Montpellier signals a fresh chapter for the right-back as he looks to maintain his presence in French football’s elite division.
