At 24, Amine Gouiri has just completed his second season in the Stade Rennais jersey. A 2023/2024 financial year marked by frustration, like the performances of the Breton club, only tenth in the Ligue 1 ranking. But all is not dark for the former Nice player. Author of 11 goals and 3 assists in 41 matches in all competitions this year, Gouiri still experienced his first call-ups with the Algerian national team.
In addition, despite the mixed season of the SRFC, the Fennec maintains a good rating on the market. Linked to the Rouge et Noir until 2027, Gouiri is very popular in Germany where two Bundesliga big names were seduced by the profile of the Rennais. According to our information, these are RB Leipzig and the reigning champion, Bayer Leverkusen.
Gouiri is popular in the Bundesliga
Concerning the RBL, the Gouiri track is being studied to compensate for the probable departures of Xavi Simons, whose future will be settled after Euro 2024, and Benjamin Šeško. We revealed to you yesterday that the Slovenian striker (14 goals scored in 31 Bundesliga matches) was Chelsea’s priority. The profile of the versatile Rennais would therefore fit rather well. Finally, as for the interest of Bayer Leverkusen, it should be remembered that the club coached by Xabi Alonso has said it has been attracted since last January.
In addition, we can tell you that contact has already been made with the player’s entourage. German champion and qualified for the next Champions League, Bayer logically wishes to expand its squad with the possible departures of Borja Iglesias (return from loan) and Adam Hložek. Gouiri would therefore come to support Victor Boniface and Patrik Schick. Faced with the uncertainty hovering over the Stade Rennais project, these two German interests in any case have everything to seduce the native of Bourgoin-Jallieu.
