Montpellier Hérault SC has begun talks with English fund GSS to strengthen its finances. President Laurent Nicollin confirmed the identity of the group interested in the club. "There are discussions, things, but nothing is settled", he said. The club needs investors to address a difficult financial situation, largely affected by the TV rights crisis. Montpellier Hérault SC passed successfully the DNCG, but it remains to be seen how this fund, if the talks go ahead, will formalize its arrival: as a minority shareholder or owner. So with or without the Nicollin family. The club needs money to continue functioning and competing in Ligue 2.
