This is accelerating in the direction of departures to Rennes. While Baptiste Santamaria is very close to joining Nice on loan with an option to buy, Albert Gronbaek is also leaving. As announced by several media, the Danish international midfielder should engage well with Southampton. According to our information, the 23-year-old is even already there to undergo his medical examination. If everything goes smoothly, he will sign his contract in the afternoon with the bottom of the Premier League.
Placed in the Rennes loft this week, Albert Gronbaek would have expressed the desire to leave Rennes just six months after his signing from FK Bodö/Glimt (Norwegian D1). “It’s more of a personal decision on his part. He expressed his desire to leave the club. He hasn’t really found his place here, he’s not happy,” explained coach Jorge Sampaoli on Friday at a press conference. In total, he played 18 matches for 2 goals and an assist. He would join the Saints on a paid loan with an option to buy worth 15 million euros.
