After paying 35 million euros in total to recruit Seko Fofana and Brice Samba, Stade Rennais wants to continue to strengthen. The Breton club's new priority is to recruit massively in attack.
Scorer against OM on Saturday evening, Arnaud Kalimuendo was sorely missed at Stade Rennais in the second half after his exit, necessary due to a shock to the head. “Kalimuendo is well above the squad average” recognized Jorge Sampaoli after the defeat against Marseille (1-2). The former PSG and Lens striker is, however, far too alone to pose a threat to the Rennes attack. Ludovic Blas and Amine Gouiri are too irregular and other players like Jota or Meister are in the process of leaving. The priority of the winter transfer window is therefore to recruit one or more players in the offensive sector from now on, as confirmed by the newspaper West France in today's edition.
The daily newspaper affirms, Stade Rennais now wishes to recruit in attack, a ” priority “ in the eyes of Arnaud Pouille, Frederic Massara and Jorge Sampaoli. “There is an emergency” writes our colleague Pierre Le Gall in the local newspaper. After having invested massively to recruit Brice Samba and Seko Fofana (35 million euros in total), Stade Rennais should again make significant resources available to its sports management to recruit, this time in attack. In this sector of the game, certain names are starting to flourish in the press, including that of Denis Bouanga, who is leaving Los Angeles and who arouses the desire of the current 14th in Ligue 1. Jorge Sampaoli hopes in any case that the reinforcements will arrive quickly because the Rennes schedule promises to be tough with the reception of Brest next weekend before a perilous trip to the Monaco pitch.
