Nasri in Rennes, an unfounded but not surprising rumor

The Canal+ consultant had already been approached in the summer of 2023 by Stade Rennais to occupy an assistant role in Bruno Genesio’s staff but this project was unable to materialize. Seeing his name in club news again is therefore not a huge surprise. Nasri, who remained unreachable, would have been contacted this week for a role in the Ille-et-Vilaine club. But by whom? It would not be through Sampaoli – with whom he remained on very good terms – or his entourage, nor even through Stade Rennais, where any contact is denied. Through an intermediary then? At this stage, it’s difficult to know, but his signing is not news.
