Interested in Batista Mendy to strengthen its midfield, Stade Rennais spent the second for the former Ligue 1 player.
The arrivals of Seko Fofana and Brice Samba at Stade Rennais have, for the moment, not allowed the Breton club to escape from its very delicate situation. Indeed, the SRFC remains on 4 defeats in a row, and still has not won in 2025. Other recruits are hoped for in the last days of this winter transfer window, while Meister, Santamaria and Gronbaek left the ship in form loan.
Mendy, it’s 15 million euros
In addition to Fofana, another midfielder is expected in Rennes, and the leaders have set their sights on Batista Mendy (25), current Trabzonspor player. According to L'Équipe, Rennes contacted the Turkish club at the start of the week regarding the former Nantes and Angers player, who is also being courted by English clubs.
To let Mendy leave, Trabzonspor is demanding 15 million euros, as was already the case last summer when Rennes was also interested. The sports daily adds that to date, no written offer has yet been sent, but the parties are maintaining contact.
-Agreement for Furuhashi
That's not all. According to Foot Mercato, Kyogo Furuhashi will join Stade Rennais shortly. An agreement was reached between the Breton club and Celtic Glasgow for the transfer of the 30-year-old Japanese, scorer of 11 goals this season. The operation will be concluded for an amount exceeding 10 million euros. The SRFC continues to be active in defense to close its winter transfer window.
