Brice Samba arrived this Wednesday in Rennes, and according to Ouest-France, the RC Lens goalkeeper has already signed his contract with the Breton club.
The day after the signing of Pau Lopez in Lens, things accelerated between the Sang et Or and Stade Rennais, since Brice Samba arrived in Brittany in recent hours and has even already signed his contract until 2029. Ouest- France affirms that Samba will be qualified and will be able to apply for a place in Jorge Sampaoli's group, and even to replace Steve Mandanda, during the highly anticipated match between Stade Rennais and Olympique de Marseille next Saturday at Roazhon Park. Quite a snub, since the two Rennes goalkeepers played for OM before following different paths. But since the start of the season, Mandanda has clearly been in trouble, like his missed match last weekend against Nice.
