Montpellier is finally able to move forward with a bit more clarity. Open for months to an entry into the capital of a new shareholder able to give a boost to the finances and sports strategy, the Hérault club, passed without incident in front of the DNCG last week, is close to a positive outcome. The discussions with the English investment fund GSS have advanced well, to the point that an agreement would be close to being finalized. Within 72 hours, a source close to the file indicates. The two parties would have established contact through American Daniel Karbassiyoon (41), a former player who passed through Arsenal, Burnley and Ipswich Town in the 2000s. It remains to be seen what form the arrival of GSS at MHSC will take, 8th last season in Ligue 2. It can take the form of a complete takeover of the club, which would mean the end of the presence of the Nicollin family, who founded the club in 1974 (with Bernard Gasset, the father of Jean-Louis), or a minority participation in the shareholding.
