The Stade Rennais will still have to be active during the winter transfer window. Jorge Sampaoli must compose without Alidu Seidu the next few months and the Argentinian technician of SRFC having found his replacementABOUT.
Stade Rennais: Alidu Seidu injured, a big blow for Jorge Sampaoli
Arriving at a club in decline, Jorge Sampaoli is already facing his first setbacks at Stade Rennais. The Argentinian began his adventure with the Bretons with a 1-0 defeat at LOSC and is now facing very bad news. This concerns the serious injury of Ghanaian defender, Alidu Seidu.
“Starting this Sunday against LOSC, Alidu Seidu had to leave with an injury after 18 minutes of play. Examinations carried out today unfortunately confirmed a rupture of the cruciate ligament in his left knee. Good luck Alidu, the whole of Stade Rennais FC is with you. Come back to us even stronger “ announced Stade Rennais in an official press release. If the duration of his unavailability is not yet known, Jorge Sampaoli already has his ideas elsewhere.
Mercato Rennais: Chancel Mbemba in the sights to replace Alidu Seidu
Alidu Seidu, victim of a cruciate ligament rupture, will be absent for a long period. To compensate for this absence, Stade Rennais has made it a priority to recruit a central defender during the winter transfer window. And it is Chancel Mbemba, disgraced defender at Olympique de Marseille, who is in Jorge Sampaoli's sights.
At the end of his contract next June, the Congolese international no longer fits into the Marseille club's plans and a departure this winter seems inevitable. Rennes' interest in the central defender is not new. The Bretons had already tried to recruit him during the last summer transfer window, but the former Porto player was then targeting more ambitious clubs.
However, Mbemba's situation in Marseille has evolved and an arrival in Brittany could now be a possible option. Jorge Sampaoli, the SRFC coach, appreciates the physical and technical profile of Mbemba, whom he considers capable of adapting to his playing system. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs will manage to reach an agreement on the amount of the transfer .
