Montpellier president Louis Nicollin has confirmed that attacking midfielder Younes Belhanda has five offers on the table.
And Nicollin has further smoothed the road to a departure for the 23-year-old by adding that the 2012 Ligue 1 champions are almost in agreement with the interested parties over the transfer fee to be paid.
Now the ball is in Belhanda’s court.
Nicollin said to Le 10 Sport: "He is leaving us.

"There are four or five clubs that have come.
"It is for the player to choose now because we are almost in agreement with the clubs. He will leave for €14m to €15m."
Asked about the identities of the interested parties, Nicollin was forthcoming.
"AC Milan, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray and Aston Villa", he said.
And, the Montpellier supremo added: "There is no problem. He has the authority to agree with whoever he wants now."
Belhanda was a key figure in Montpellier winning the Ligue 1 title in the 2011/12 campaign and had been expected to leave last summer, but surprisingly stayed put.
He looks unlikely to be at the Stade de la Mosson for a further year however.
