After paying 20 million euros to Al-Nassr to recruit Seko Fofana, Stade Rennais is determined to sign Valentin Rongier. The Breton club is ready to bet big on the OM midfielder.
Roberto De Zerbi's indisputable starter at Olympique de Marseille for two months, Valentin Rongier shone this weekend against Le Havre. Scorer, the former captain of FC Nantes once again proved that he had once again become indispensable in the Marseille city. The Italian coach was also very clear about his midfielder with three lungs, declaring “non-transferable” facing the media.
Rennes will go all out on Rongier
The leaders of Stade Rennais have obviously not grasped the message five out of five since the club in which Jorge Sampaoli arrived a few weeks ago is still with the idea of recruiting Valentin Rongier. And according to Daniel Riolo, who spoke on this subject in After Foot on RMC Monday evening, the Breton club is ready to make great efforts to secure the services of the OM player, who knew Jorge Sampaoli in Marseille between 2021 and 2022.
“Rennes wants to go heavy. On Rongier, they are ready to pull out all the stops. This does not mean that it will happen, because Marseille is not at all determined to listen. But they are ready to send a lot of money” launched Daniel Riolo on the airwaves of RMC, without revealing a price but making it clear that Stade Rennais was ready to drop a huge ticket to secure the services of Valentin Rongier. After having bet 20 million euros on Seko Fofana, whose salary fluctuates between 600,000 and 700,000 euros per month according to sources, Rennes fully intends to sign a new disproportionate check, this time for Valentin Rongier. It now remains to be seen whether OM has the backbone strong enough to refuse an offer of this caliber for one of its holders. Not to mention that Rongier's departure would greatly offend Roberto De Zerbi and would undoubtedly strain relations between the Italian coach and his management, who therefore has no real interest in accepting the upcoming offer from Rennes.
