While France Bleu Hérault had revealed Montpellier Hérault’s interest in Faitout Maouassa in mid-April, in 100% Pailladethe MHSC has indeed gone on the offensive and the discussions ended up being successful with the current club of the 23-year-old left side, as indicated this Monday by our colleagues from The Team.
The young man, ex-international with the France Espoirs team where he played with Arnaud Nordin, expressed his desire to join the Paillade, while the Hérault leaders had requested it several months ago. The speeches given by the staff as well as by coach Olivier Dall’Oglio convinced him. The extension of his former partner Téji Savanier and the presence of his ex-teammate Jordan Ferri also weighed in the balance, according to the player’s entourage, whom we contacted.
Faitout Maouassa was coveted by other French (Lille) and European formations, but his choice was therefore officially recorded this weekend. It was also necessary to find common ground with the leaders of Club Brugge KV, where the former Rennes player arrived a year ago. Details remain to be settled, but it is finally on a loan without purchase option agreed between the two parties, at the request of the Belgians, it seems.
Faitout Maouassa, described as very human and very smiling, will therefore return to Ligue 1, he who suffered a change of coach in Belgium and unfortunately failed to win despite a good start with seven Jupiler Pro League games and a short appearance in the Champions League, against PSG . He could officially commit to Montpellier by the end of the week and will be present at the resumption on June 27, with a mad desire to relaunch his career and win in the left lane of La Paillade. His understudy will be, on paper, a face he knows well and whom he met in Nîmes: Théo Sainte-Luce.
