Olympique Lyonnais demonstrated this last year. Beyond being a simple market of opportunities, the winter transfer window has become a real lever to reverse the course of a season. Relegated last January, John Textor's club finally qualified for the Europa League after a roller coaster season. Inspiring or not, the example is on the table.
Faced with a sporting crisis from which it is struggling to emerge, Stade Rennais (14th at mid-season, one point ahead of the red zone) seems to follow the same reasoning. The red and black club, buoyed by the financial serenity of the Pinault family, is pulling out all the stops this winter to no longer readjust its workforce but to strengthen it overall.
Stade Rennais is not done for this winter
No sector is spared. By going to look for Seko Fofana in Saudi Arabia, Rennes had sent a first message and did not hesitate to send a second, this time by exfiltrating Brice Samba, then captain of Lens and understudy of Mike Maignan in the France team. This recruitment has a cost, it is true, but it is also not finished.
-Stade Rennais continues to move forward on issues, notably that of the striker, which for the moment leads to Kyogo Furuhashi, Japanese player of Celtic FC, with whom discussions have been established. On set, our journalists, Pierre Hamon and Guillaume Lainé, daily follower of the club, take stock of the news. In Rennes but not only.

Also discussed in the Cellule Foot program is the recruitment policy of PSG, on the verge of enlisting the Georgian Kvicha Kvaratshkelia, the dangerous game that RC Lens is playing during this transfer window or even the questioning of Paul Pogba, whose return to the competition can take place in March and more than ever on the market.
