While Baptiste Santamaria (29) is approaching AS Saint-Étienne, where he could sign in the coming days, Stade Rennais has already targeted his replacement in Ligue 1.
Baptiste Santamaria soon at ASSE? The matter is serious. As already explained yesterday, the Stade Rennais midfielder would have given his agreement to his leaders to join Forez in the coming days but remains awaiting a tripartite agreement.
Rennes rushes towards Chotard
In the meantime, L'Équipe confirms that Stade Rennais will reshape its midfield in depth during the winter transfer window. In addition to the expected arrival of Seko Fofana, who has already passed his medical examination successfully, the Breton club would have inquired about the feasibility of a transfer of Joris Chotard.
Between 6 and 7 million expected?
In search of liquidity, Montpellier HSC would be ready to let its 23-year-old midfielder (linked until 2026) leave on the same basis as last summer. That is to say around 6 to 7 million euros. A sum that Stade Rennais should put on the table without worry, the Pinault family being keen to strike hard in the transfer window to reaffirm their ambitions in Ligue 1.
