Younes Belhanda wants to stay at Montpellier next season.

However, the 22-year-old is on the brink of winning the French league title with Montpellier, and he has revealed he intends to stay at the club next term.

“I want to stay,” Belhanda, who has been voted as the Young Player of the Year in France, told L’Equipe. “Playing in the Champions League with my club will be extraordinary.”
