Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Last summer, RC Lens experienced a major internal change with the departure of several strong men from its project such as coach Franck Haise, who joined OGC Nice, but also Arnaud Pouille . Former general manager of Sang-et-Or, the latter signed with Stade Rennais. And he is already preparing for the transfer window.
The winter transfer window will officially open its doors this Wednesday, but a club of Ligue 1 already seems particularly active behind the scenes, namely the Stade Rennais. After a delicate first part of the season, the Breton club separated from Julien Stéphan in order to name Jorge Sampaoli who has already placed a large order for the transfer window.
Fofana and Samba arrive in Rennes!
And it should quickly be fixed. Indeed, according to information from THE TEAMthe Stade Rennais is about to complete a double transfer and will therefore hit very hard. Thus, Brice Samba should arrive from the RC Lens for around €14M to replace Steve Mandandawhile Fofana School will also make a comeback in Ligue 1. The Ivory Coast international, loaned to Al-Ettifaq FCloaned by Al-Nassr FCcould land for €20M.
Arnaud Pouille’s masterstroke
A double transfer which bears the signature of a man: Arnaud Pouille. The former director general of RC Lens was appointed president of Stade Rennais at the start of the season, and it maintains a direct link with Fofana School. The proximity between the two men was therefore crucial in this matter. Same observation for Brice Samba. When Jorge Sampaoli asked a goalkeeper, Arnaud Pouille immediately thought of his former player. The winter transfer window is off to a strong start in Rennes!
