Montpellier want to sign Matthis Abline on loan until the end of the season. Nantes do not want to strengthen a competitor for retention.

The 20-year-old is scorer of one goal in 10 Ligue 1 matches this season. The clock is turning on the transfer window. The deadline is February 1, the date the transfer market closes.
