Mohamed Haouas at the BO, it’s hot. It actually burns. According to Sud Ouest, the 29-year-old international tricolor pillar (16 caps) will commit for two seasons to the Biarritz club (Pro D2).
According to L’Equipe, which confirms the information, this transfer to the Basque club was able to take place after he was released from the contract which bound him to Clermont until 2026, following a financial agreement between the two parties. The ASM would have “paid a small part of his contract” to part with it, as claimed this morning by Haouas’s lawyer, Me Gallix.
Montpellier player last season, Haouas was initially to join Clermont. ASM has changed its mind. Sentenced to 18 months in prison, nine of which are suspended, plus 12 months in prison for aggravated violence, he risks going behind bars, even if the appeal lodged by his lawyer should enable him to avoid this outcome… initially. “In the event of adjustment of the sentence, he will be able to wear the colors of his new club”, specify our colleagues.
