With an ambitious Jorge Sampaoli, Stade Rennais must significantly strengthen its squad in the transfer window. The Bretons have unearthed a talented young winger in Parma. But, we will have to invest a few million euros from January.
With Jorge Sampaoli, Rennes is back on track. In distress a few weeks ago with several heavy defeats suffered, the Bretons have won two of their last three matches in Ligue 1. However, the Argentinian's method alone will not be enough to put the Rennais back at the top of the ranking. 12th in Ligue 1, Rennes needs new players to compete with the best teams in the race for Europe. An important first step was taken by contacting Hakim Ziyech. The Moroccan would be an experienced reinforcement but a little youth doesn't hurt either. This is why the Breton management is looking towards Parma.
Anas Haj Mohamed, the right move at 4 ME?
The club promoted to Serie A this season is home to Anas Haj Mohamed who is of great interest to Rennes according to the Express Newspaper. Tunisian international born in Italy, he is only 19 years old. However, his performances are talked about in the Boot. He is a very technical player, capable of unbalancing opposing defenses. Scorer of a superb strike against Lazio this season, he can play as a winger but also as an attacking midfielder.
Stade Rennais would like to recruit Anas Haj Mohamed as quickly as possible. The young man is under contract with Parma until June 2026, which will not encourage the Parmesans to offer him at a discount. The Italian press currently rates it at 4 million euros. A price which remains affordable in January for Rennes even if the big Italian teams will soon show up.
