We never had the opportunity to look into the Stade Rennais FC at MaLigue2 before this year, since the club used to play for the first places in the championship of Ligue 1. But this season, the Bretons are in a particularly bad position and present a real risk of going down to the lower level! To avoid this disaster at all costs, the team owned by the Pinault family is pulling out all the stops in the transfer window this winter to improve the squad and avoid the red zone. After Samba and Fofana, two other players would be in the sights of SRFC this winter.
