The French journalist of Algerian origin, Mohamed Tobash, revealed that the Algerian international Andy Delort was manipulated and “frauded” by his former team, Montpellier, regarding the issue of his return and joining the club during the last summer transfer period, at a time when he rejected all the offers he received from Turkey and France for Montpellier.
Delort (32 years old) is currently without a team since February 12, the date of the termination of his contract with the Qatari club Umm Salal. Despite this situation, the Algerian striker found it difficult to sign for a new team, because he is required to compensate the Qatari club with an amount of 2 million euros, which is a large amount for French clubs in particular, which are suffering from severe financial crises.
Andy Delort has been linked with a return to Montpellier with clear statements from him, and even from club president Laurent Nicollin, who expressed interest in the return of his former player, but he cited his club’s financial difficulties as an excuse to close the deal, and he also linked it to his team selling one of its players this summer, which did not happen.
