Montpellier, the Ligue 2 football club, is close to changing hands. The Nicollin family, who have been at the helm of the club for over 50 years, are negotiating the sale of the club to new investors. Laurent Nicollin, the president of MHSC, confirmed the rumors in an interview with the newspaper L'Équipe. The club, relegated to Ligue 2 at the end of the 2024-2025 season, is facing numerous complications on both the sporting and financial fronts. The decline in TV rights, empty stadiums, and eighth place in the standings are all problems that are pushing the Montpellier management to take radical measures. And it's in this context that negotiations with the new investors have begun. The president of MHSC said that things were going well, but that nothing was yet officially finalized. So, the club's supporters must wait to know the outcome of these negotiations. The club was founded in 1974 by the Nicollin family and has had moments of glory, notably during the 2011-2012 season when it won the French championship title. But today, the club is in crisis and must find solutions to relaunch itself. Laurent Nicollin said that negotiations with the new investors were underway and that things were going well. The president of MHSC also said that the club's supporters should be patient and wait for the results of these negotiations. The club announced that the results of these negotiations would be known by mid-July.
