Andy Delort returns to Montpellier on a loan with an option to buy. After leaving for Nice three and a half years ago, he has been playing for MC Alger since the start of the season. Delort, who was part of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations winning team, aims to help Montpellier, currently second to last in Ligue 1, to avoid relegation.

Montpellier is negotiating with MC Alger to bring Andy Delort back. There were complications as MC Alger wanted a paid loan while Montpellier hoped for a free loan. The clubs have moved closer to an agreement for a loan with an option to buy. Andy Delort is expected to arrive at Montpellier soon for medical examinations.

Andy Delort, who is currently with MC Alger, is being considered by Montpellier for a potential return. Delort, having moved from Montpellier to Nice in the summer of 2021, has expressed openness to the possibility of returning to assist Montpellier in avoiding relegation. Negotiations are in progress to finalize an agreement with the Algerian champions. L'Equipe has reported that Montpellier is close to finalizing the sale of Akor Adams to Sevilla FC for 5.5 million euros, indicating their intention to recruit a new striker during the winter transfer window. At 33 years old, Delort departed Montpellier on unfavorable terms but is reportedly not against the idea of returning to support Montpellier HSC in their fight against relegation. Discussions are set to continue in the coming days to secure an agreement with MC Alger, the champions of Algeria.
