A start to the season close to disaster given the resources invested, a 12th place far from the ambitions: the Stade Rennais FC completely missed the mark in the first leg of 2024-2025 and did not take advantage of the absence of European matches to get closer to the qualifying places for the following season. It is therefore no surprise that the club owned by François Pinault will have to take action on the winter transfer market. Thus, players of Ligue 2 and former players from the French championship could well soon strengthen the Rennes ranks.

Indeed, Loïc Tanzi (L’Équipe) indicates that the Breton club would be closely interested in Fofana School (loaned to Al-Ettifaq by Al-Nassr) as well as Brice Sambastarting goalkeeper for the Sang & Or club and French international (3 selections in blue)! Two experienced players in the division who have impressed with Racing. Even if they sign in Ille-et-Vilaine, they will not be the only ones to sign up this winter. The Rouge et Noir would also try to sign another midfielder as well as a central defender (Sadibou Sané was mentioned recently even if a Gradit rumor also appeared) as well as an attacker. At least one reinforcement per line therefore, to help Jorge Sampaoli in the second half of the season.
