The Baptiste Santamaria file (Stade Rennais, 29 years old) is about to be decided for ASSE.
Close to finalizing the arrival of Seko Fofana (Al-Nassr, 29 years old), Stade Rennais is moving forward in parallel with the transfer of Baptiste Santamaria (29 years old) to ASSE. According to our information, discussions have accelerated and the deal is now on track for the native of Saint-Doulchard to become the Greens' first winter reinforcement.
A rather accommodating Stade Rennais
If, in fact, the salary of the former Angevin (estimated at €180,000 gross per month) is too high for what Kilmer Sports Ventures can (or wants) to pay, Rennes would be willing to be very accommodating on the matter. Jorge Sampaoli no longer wishing to rely on the French environment at all, a solution is about to be found.
The details of the deal have not been leaked but it should be a loan with partial payment of the salary and a supplement paid directly by Rennes to allow Santamaria, whose profile has been validated by Eirik Horneland, to find playing time. The 29-year-old midfielder is very interested in the idea of joining Forez.
