After the arrival of Jorge Sampaoli, Christopher Wooh saw his future darken in Brittany. From there to leaving Rennes this winter?
Soon a goodbye between Wooh and Rennes? Arriving at Stade Rennais during the 2022 summer transfer window, Christopher Wooh has never had it easy. The Cameroonian defender had to face strong competition for a starting place. His first seasons at the club were marked by sporadic appearances, often from the bench, and inconsistent performances. However, since the start of this exercise, Wooh has reached a milestone and become an indisputable starter in the Breton defense.
Unfortunately for him, the first part of the season for Rennais did not meet the expectations of the leaders. Despite some solid performances, poor results in the championship led to a radical decision: the departure of coach Julien Stéphan.
A planned departure
Sampaoli’s arrival had a direct impact on Wooh’s place in the team. The new coach redistributed the cards, and a major tactical change was observed with the adoption of a three-defender system. Unfortunately for Wooh, this change in system does not seem to favor him. Since the arrival of the ex-Sevilla FC coach, the defender Cameroonian did not start a match, and his starting place was clearly called into question.
At 23, Wooh finds himself in a difficult situation. Despite his 49 matches played with Stade Rennais since his arrival, his future at the club is uncertain. Internally, the Rennes management is already considering several possibilities for its future, informs us RMC Sport. Especially since Wooh, whose market value is considerable (7 million euros according to Transfermarkt), could be sold as early as January if an interesting offer were to arise.
For his part, the Indomitable Lion would not be closed to the idea of leaving, according to the same source. Above all, the defender wants to continue to progress and play regularly, an essential condition for his development. However, he favors a solid sporting project in Europe. The winter could be eventful for the native of Louvres, in France.
