Rennes offers a striker for 10 million to Jorge Sampaoli

Jorge Sampaoli will be offered a new offensive player to finally start the maintenance operation at Stade Rennais.

With its continuation in Ligue 1 seriously called into question despite the change of coach and an upcoming trip to Monaco, Stade Rennais is clearly in an emergency at the start of 2025. Two recruits have arrived but the Breton club will hit even harder in the coming days. Everything is now in place for a double transfer which will change the offensive face of the residents of Roazhon Park. Indeed, Ouest-France confirms that a double transaction with Celtic Glasgow will take place very soon. Starting against Bern in the Champions League this week, Kyogo Furuhashi played his last minutes in the Scottish club according to the western daily. His transfer for 10 million euros is now considered imminent, and will therefore be concluded this weekend to allow more offensive choices to be given to Jorge Sampaoli.

Jota is leaving, Rennes will not cry

The Argentine coach will, however, let one player leave in this sector of the game. It is Jota, who arrived from Saudi Arabia this summer and who failed to establish himself. The Portuguese, former Celtic Glasgow player who made him known in Europe, is well on his way to going the opposite way to the Japanese and returning to his former club. If the two transactions are separate, real exchanges being very rare in football, it is the fact that the two clubs have been discussing Kyogo Furuhashi for several weeks which made it possible to put in place the sending of Jota to Celtic.
