Montpellier could soon change its era with Gündoğan's arrival. The GSS investment fund is close to an agreement with the Nicollin family to enter the capital of the Hérault club. This operation could significantly modify the governance of the MHSC, 8th in the last Ligue 2 season. Weakened sports-wise in recent seasons and relegated to Ligue 2 at the end of the 2024-2025 season, Montpellier is looking for a new boost to quickly regain its place in Ligue 1. If no definitive agreement has yet been officially announced, negotiations between the different parties are progressing favorably and the idea of a change in ownership seems to be taking shape day by day. Behind this project are several ambitious investors, including İlkay Gündoğan. The 35-year-old midfielder continues his career at Galatasaray after successful stints at Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, and FC Barcelona. This season, he has played 38 matches with the Istanbul club, scoring two goals and providing five assists. The former German international is backed by Daniel Karbassiyoon, a former player who has passed through Arsenal, Burnley, and Ipswich Town. The potential arrival of GSS could thus offer Montpellier new financial resources and launch a new dynamic within the Hérault club, while the current management is running out of steam. It remains to be seen whether the operation will be finalized and what will be Gündoğan's concrete involvement in the club's sports project. One thing is certain: Gündoğan's presence could mark a major turning point for the MHSC's future.
