In the midst of a crisis, Stade Rennais opened a loft. Several players like the Dane Albert Gronbaek are sidelined while awaiting their departure. The decision caused a lot of reaction and fueled the press conference of coach Jorge Sampaoli, who pleaded not guilty.
Olympique de Marseille is far from being the only club to use these methods. In the middle of the season and the winter transfer window, Stade Rennais opened a loft to place unwanted people there. At least four players are in this category, namely Gauthier Gallon, Baptiste Santamaria, Glen Kamara and Albert Gronbaek. We didn't necessarily expect to see the Dane's name appear.
Arriving last summer for 15 million euros, the attacking midfielder, without being an indisputable starter, has been regularly lined up this season. Difficult to call it a real flop as the former Bodo-Glimt player showed interesting technical potential. Moreover, insider Mohamed Toubache-Ter tells us that Ligue 1 sports directors are surprised to see Albert Gronbaek among the undesirables in Rennes. Some may have blamed Jorge Sampaoli. So in order to clear things up, the coach of the Rouge et Noir pleaded not guilty at a press conference.
-Gronbaek wants to leave
The Argentinian assures that the sidelining of the summer recruit was decided by President Arnaud Pouille. “ The loft is a decision of the president, of the clubexplained the Rennes coach. These are players who were not playing and who will leave the club during this transfer window. Gronbaek told me he wanted to leave because he hasn't found his place here since he arrived. He is not happy and prefers to go to another place. Its place in the loft is a personal decision. » Given the offensive poverty in Rennes, Jorge Sampaoli would surely have been delighted to line up Albert Gronbaek.
