Strasbourg Maintains Interest in Montpellier’s Rising Star Khalil Fayad

RC Strasbourg Alsace continues to show interest in Montpellier HSC’s promising midfielder Khalil Fayad, 20, with a potential move on the horizon for the upcoming transfer window. The club’s interest in Fayad dates back to last summer, and it appears to have been rekindled.

Fayad, who attracted attention from both Strasbourg and AS Monaco in the previous transfer period, ultimately chose to remain with his home club. However, Montpellier’s current season has been challenging, with the team languishing at the bottom of Ligue 1. They now face a nine-point deficit to escape the relegation zone, making their drop to Ligue 2 increasingly probable.

Should Montpellier face relegation, it’s likely to trigger a significant exodus of players from the club. Fayad, who has made 15 appearances across all competitions this season, is among those expected to seek new opportunities. While his valuation was around €10 million last summer, the club’s precarious position may lead to a more modest price tag this time around.

Strasbourg’s manager, Liam Rosenior, is reportedly an admirer of Fayad’s talents. Industry insiders suggest that a transfer fee between €4-6 million could be sufficient to secure the young midfielder’s services in the upcoming window.

As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Fayad’s next move, with Strasbourg positioning themselves as potential suitors for the talented youngster.
