The young Noah Sadikirevelation of the Belgian Union Saint-Gilloise, is also a promising avenue to energize the Rennes midfield.

Offensive reinforcements envisaged

Finally, the offensive sector is not left out in Sampaoli's plans. The Moroccan Hakim Ziyechtoday at Galatasaray, could bring his creativity and his vision to the Rennes wings.
