The Montpellier HSC, almost relegated to Ligue 2, is preparing to turn an important page in its history. In the foreground, Teji Savanier who could live his last hours under the pailladin jersey. The downhill in Ligue 2 is now a reality for Montpellier and with it the big maneuvers begin behind the scenes. At the centre of all attentions, Teji Savanier. The 33-year-old captain and leading figure of the MHSC alone is the turning point for the Hérault club. Last winter, according to Foot Mercato, the French international was already on the shelves of Saudi clubs. A start seemed possible, if not desired. However, contrary to recent rumours that the offensive environment would impede the development of the project, the reality would be quite different. According to information from Foot Mercato, Savanier had clearly indicated his desire to leave the club in January. A will cooled down by President Laurent Nicollin, who refused to let him go without compensation, demanding at least three million euros. A choice that ran counter to the opinion of sports director Bruno Carotti, who favoured a free start as a recognition for the years spent under the pailladin jersey. This internal disagreement left traces. The link between Savanier and management has become so frail that it does not exist. Today, while Montpellier is about to start from scratch in Ligue 2, the number 11 has never been as close to folding.
