Qualified for the group stage of the Europa League, Stade Rennais must strengthen its workforce for next season. The Breton club is working in particular to improve its midfield, hoping to attract Lorient’s Enzo Le Fée and Nantes’ Ludovic Blas. Two attractive tracks.

Rennes will probably be one of the leaders of the French transfer window. The recent fourth in Ligue 1, directly qualified for the group stage of the Europa League, must strengthen the workforce of coach Bruno Genesio. And the first tracks announced are already attractive. There is indeed talk of an interest in the midfielders Enzo Le Fée and Ludovic Blas. Two files confirmed by President Olivier Cloarec.

Blas and Le Fée are players we’ve been watching for a long time and would be a perfect fit for the team.explained the leader on France Bleu Armorique. But for the moment, there is nothing done. (…) They are part of the list, yes. If the boss of the Rouge et Noir is cautious, it is because the two targets mentioned will not be easy to wait for.

During the second half of the season, Enzo Le Fée publicly announced that he wanted to leave Lorient one year from the end of his contract. The French international Espoirs has even agreed with Rennes on a four or five-year contract. But the president of Merlus Loïc Féry claims 25 million euros for his transfer. A price too high for the Rennais, recently revealed the newspaper L’Equipe.

For its part, FC Nantes seems less greedy for Ludovic Blas. The Canaries, who had prevented their player from joining Lille last summer, would be ready to transfer him for 12 million euros. Seduced by the versatility of the former Guingampais, Rennes should be able to get closer to the requirements of Nantes. The problem is that Ludovic Blas also appeals to Olympique de Marseille, which is awaiting the appointment of its future coach, as well as English and Italian teams.
