Zapping Goal! soccer club Top 10: The worst transfers in European football
Montpellier thought of Layvin Kurzawa (PSG)
In urgent search of side with the departures of Sambia or Ristic, the MHSC should engage Faitout Maouassa (ex-Stade Rennais today at Cercle Bruges) in the next few hours. Eager not to put all its eggs in one basket, the Hérault club had also inquired about the situation of Layvin Kurzawa (PSG, 29 years old) according to local journalist Cédric Drouet. However, the file was not dug more than that because of the comfortable salary of the tricolor international (500,000€ gross per month for 0 L1 match played last year).
If not Maouassa, Montpellier inquired about a loan from Layvin Kurzawa (PSG -> 2024).
It would take a lot of financial conditions, on the PSG side, for the deal to be possible.
But the MHSC project is not one to which the Kurzawa clan closes the door immediately. pic.twitter.com/hdnjoa1tBq
