While Stade Rennais launched hostilities with Seko Fofana and Brice Samba, the rest of the transfer window should be even more spectacular this winter. The Pinault family plans to pull out all the stops.
Stade Rennais wants to rectify its failed recruitment this summer and intends not to spend money in the transfer window. This winter, the Breton club has already formalized the arrivals with great fanfare of Seko Fofana and Brice Samba. These two signings will cost the Pinault family dearly.
Between €100 and €110 million invested in Fofana and Samba!
“The bill will be very high, as it has never been for Stade Rennais. It is not the quality of the players that is the problem but the price that is completely above the market which will further disrupt the locker room, revealed Romain Molina on his YouTube channel. Cumulatively, between signing bonuses, commissions, transfer amounts, contract years and all charges… we arrive at a total of between 100 and 110 million euros. »
Sampaoli is still waiting for 3 recruits
In addition to this fairly crazy amount of money but which will be smoothed out over several years, Stade Rennais does not intend to stop there. According to L'Équipe, Jorge Sampaoli is still ideally waiting for a central defender, a recovering midfielder and an attacker. These arrivals should nevertheless lead to exits, such as that of Glen Kamara or Henrik Meister. Foot Mercato also reveals a first offer from Galatasaray for Amine Gouiri, worth €13 million and bonuses. In the event of departure, the SRFC striker would favor abroad.
