a Breton flop put on the market

Stade Rennais is preparing for a lively winter transfer window, marked by several adjustments to the squad. Among the potential departures is Henrik Meister, a young Danish striker who arrived this summer but is struggling to find his place in the Breton jersey.

Recruitment that is short-lived

Recruited from Sarpsborg, Norway, after a promising season, Henrik Meister signed a four-year contract with Rennes. The 21-year-old striker was presented as a nugget capable of bringing depth to the squad. However, his first months in Ligue 1 proved disappointing: only four appearances in the league, punctuated by a single goal. Insufficient to convince Jorge Sampaoli, new Rennes coach, who seems to have other priorities to shape his team.

A transfer window under the sign of renewal

With the arrival of Sampaoli, Rennes enters a new era. The Argentine coach is seeking to reshape his squad, and the departure of Meister could free up space for other profiles. Former Marseillais Gerson, currently at Flamengo, is notably mentioned among the potential winter recruits.

If Meister's future seems to be taking shape far from Rennes, his departure could also meet his need to find playing time and relaunch his career. An opportunity for the Danish player, who will have to reposition himself in a championship where he can exploit his potential. Stade Rennais, for its part, continues its quest for stability and efficiency for this second part of the season, in search of European objectives.
