Mercato: Agreement between Rennes and Manchester City for Doku

One of the biggest talents in the French championship is about to join the Premier League and Manchester City. Tracked by Manchester City, the Rennais Jérémy Doku had reached a contractual agreement with the English club a few days ago. The Belgium international is keen to join the 2023 European champions.

And his desire is about to come true. Indeed, this Monday, Stade Rennais and Manchester City would have reached a total agreement for the transfer of the Rennes winger according to information from Foot Mercato.

The transfer fee is expected to reach 60 million euros. Stade Rennais makes the biggest sale in its history. The Red Devils international must undergo his medical examination in the coming hours and then sign his contract at the end of the week.

Note that his training club Anderlecht should receive a percentage in the event of a capital gain if there is a future sale.

Jérémy Doku will strengthen a world-class attacking sector but affected by injuries. He should be put in competition with players like Jack Grealish on the left or on the right with Phil Foden.

Despite some physical glitches, Jérémy Doku has established himself as one of the most important players in the SRFC. Last season he played 29 matches for a total of 7 goals and 4 assists in all competitions. No doubt his stats will change under Pep Guardiola.
