Jota will leave Stade Rennais!

The winter transfer window at Stade Rennais is definitely very lively. Jorge Sampaoli wanted movement, the Argentinian was served. In terms of arrivals, the Bretons struck hard by signing midfielder Seko Fofana, L1 reference when he played in Lens, and French international goalkeeper Brice Samba. And it’s not over yet. Earlier today, we announced that SRFC was interested in Los Angeles FC player Denis Bouanga.

In the departures section, it’s hot there too. Especially within the offensive sector. Recently, we revealed to you that the Turks of Galatasaray had a crush on Amine Gouiri. They appreciate the profile of the Algerian international so much that a first official offer of €13 million (+ bonuses) was sent to the SRFC. Finally, Henrik Meister, who was recruited last summer for €7 million, will go to Italy where he will be loaned with an option to buy to Pisa.

The graft never took place between Jota and the SRFC

The 21-year-old Dane should not be the only one to pack up in January. While waiting to see how the Gouiri case will develop, West France assures that Jota should also set sail. The daily adds that the 25-year-old Portuguese, also recruited six months ago for €8 million, would bounce back to a foreign club, without further information on the identity of the interested team. The announced departure of the former resident of Celtic Glasgow and Al-Ittihad is unfortunately not a surprise.

If the price of his transfer might seem like a good deal, the Lusitanian’s record in Brittany is very disappointing. Arriving in September, Jota was initially expected to get back into physical condition after having gone many months without playing in Saudi Arabia. Once recovered, he quickly got injured before seeing Jorge Sampaoli take over from Julien Stéphan. A change of coach which was not beneficial to him. Under the Argentinian’s orders, Jota never started and had to make do with four appearances in six games, with a total playing time of 77 minutes, not even 20 minutes per match.
