By losing against Brest, Stade Rennais put itself in great danger before traveling to Monaco on Saturday. To avoid the worst, the Breton club wants to strike again in the winter transfer window.
With just one victory in five games, Rennes is getting ever closer to the red zone, and could even fall into the hell of the relegation zone in the event of a defeat next weekend in Monaco. Despite the efforts made by Breton leaders, nothing is going well at Roazhon Park, and the Jorge Sampaoli effect is not really having the expected results. After having signed Brice Samba and Seiko Fofana, who are not shining for the moment, Stade Rennais will have to strengthen further between now and February 3, the date of the end of the winter transfer window. West France confirms, two new players are urgently expected in order to give the Argentine coach additional solutions to avoid what would be an industrial disaster given the investments made by the Pinault family.
Rennes wants to quickly sign two new players
Guillaume Lainé, who follows the news from Stade Rennais for the regional daily, confirms that the leaders want to quickly bring more new blood into Jorge Sampaoli's locker room. “ With five or four behind, installing a three-way midfielder with Fofana, Matusiwa and James (while waiting for another recruit in this sector) already seems obvious. Up front, reinforcement is also expected, to come and rescue Kalimuendo and Blas, the preferential solutions. What a construction site… », Remarks the journalist from Ouest-France. However, Stade Rennais must not be mistaken about these two reinforcements, because since last summer we cannot really say that the Breton club is making judicious choices during transfer periods. As for the owners of Rennes, we are waiting for everyone to get their act together, otherwise heads could still roll.
