Montpellier’s young midfielder Khalil Fayad is already attracting interest at the start of the summer. According to L’Equipe, AS Monaco and Eintracht Frankfurt are very interested in the 20-year-old.
Trained at MHSC, Fayad has already proved his worth in Ligue 1, making 47 appearances and scoring 3 goals. His versatile profile, capable of playing as a holding midfielder or in support of the striker, is appealing to both clubs.
At Monaco, interest in Fayad could increase if Maghnes Akliouche were to leave, leading the club to consider Fayad as a potential replacement. For their part, Eintracht Frankfurt, who are used to recruiting young talent in Ligue 1, see Fayad as an ideal reinforcement for next season, particularly with a view to the Europa League.
Fayad, who is under contract with Montpellier until 2027, is valued at less than €10 million, an attractive price in the current climate of economic uncertainty for French clubs linked to TV rights.
With negotiations still ongoing for the 2024-2029 TV rights, the finances of French clubs remain unstable, which could push Montpellier to sell Fayad this summer in the event of an attractive offer.
The next few weeks will be decisive for Fayad’s future, and it remains to be seen whether he will choose Monaco, with its Champions League appeal, or Frankfurt, with its European experience and ambitious project.
