Stade Rennais has formalized the signing of Brice Samba, who played for RC Lens. The French international goalkeeper has signed up until 2029 with the Breton club.
Arriving this morning in Brittany, Brice Samba wasted no time, since the goalkeeper officially signed up with Stade Rennais the day after the announcement of the signing of Pau Lopez in Lens. « It’s a satisfaction because I wanted to join Stade Rennais. I'm relieved to have arrived to meet my new teammates and start training. I am joining a strong, stable, recognized club. The Breton people are a proud and strong people, it is gratifying to arrive in Rennes. I regularly played against SRFC when I was young and I often came to Roazhon Park in Ligue 1. I experienced very complicated matches there (smile) and I can't wait to meet the supporters. I want to be as decisive as possible, that's what brought me to the French team and I hope to continue this momentum. It’s also a great pleasure to meet Seko again, we’ve called each other a lot recently. I'm obviously looking forward to renewing our bond, that was our strength before and being able to repeat what we were able to do would be extraordinary. », Confided Brice Samba on the official website of Stade Rennais.
As for the Rennes leaders, we are of course happy with this operation, which dragged on a little due to differences with RC Lens. “ For Stade Rennais, it is a pride to welcome Brice. Beyond the player and his international status, his state of mind oriented towards performance and victory is an additional asset for the club. His natural leadership, experience and talent will help develop our ambitions. Players, staff and employees, we are delighted to see Brice join the Rouge et Noir », Confided Arnaud Pouilles, the executive president of the Breton club.
