Wissam Ben Yedder, who did not receive a contract extension from AS Monaco at the conclusion of last season, is reportedly in talks with Montpellier about a possible comeback to Ligue 1. In light of his legal troubles, which encompass a suspended two-year prison sentence and continuing legal proceedings for psychological violence, Ben Yedder is seeking to rejuvenate his career. Montpellier, facing challenges in Ligue 1 with a weak attacking performance, regards the seasoned and free agent Ben Yedder as an attractive prospect to enhance their capabilities.

Wissam Ben Yedder, who has been without a club since leaving Monaco at the end of his contract in June after five seasons, is reportedly in discussions with Montpellier, the team currently at the bottom of the Ligue 1 standings. Montpellier is actively looking for a striker to improve their struggling offensive line, which has only managed to score 15 goals in 15 matches. Despite facing ongoing legal issues, including an upcoming court appearance on May 21 for charges of 'psychological violence' against his wife amid their divorce proceedings, it is reported that Ben Yedder intends to continue his professional career. He has recently completed a rehabilitation program at CHU de Nice and has been undergoing fitness training with several physical trainers to prepare for the winter transfer window. His judicial control has been significantly relaxed, which now allows him to engage in football activities, including those outside of France.
