The transfer window is slowly taking shape at Stade Rennais. The departure of Florian Maurice for Nice, and especially the arrival of Frederic Massara as the new sporting director have marked the start of this new cycle. We expect a major renewal of the squad, which has not been able to do better than a disappointing 10th place in Ligue 1 this season. “We don’t want to rebuild an entire team either, and as things stand I don’t have offers for ten or twelve players!”Olivier Cloraec temporized a few days ago at West France.
In this interview, we were talking about Enzo Le Fée, an element that is part of “from the base” said the Breton president. It all depends on the interests and offers coming from outside. There are some for the former Lorient player according to our information. Better than that, the 24-year-old midfielder already has a contractual agreement with AS Roma. It is a question of temporizing all the same. The transfer is far from being done since the two managements have barely started discussions.
The Fairy only arrived in Rennes last year
To flush out Le Fée, you’ll have to pay the price. Recruited from Lorient just a year ago for €20 million, the midfielder is coming off a season with its ups and downs, just like his team. The start of the season was laborious before experiencing a great period during the winter, then joining the infirmary from February. He also missed the double confrontation against AC Milan in the round of 16 of the Europa League. On his return to the competition, he failed to reintegrate Julien Stéphan’s starting eleven.
Stade Rennais will want to at least recover its initial outlay, if not more for a player who is coming off a season with 35 matches in all competitions (5 assists). AS Roma have reportedly already sent a proposal of €18 million, which has already been rejected by Rennes. It should be remembered that the club from the Louve has appointed a sporting director who knows Ligue 1 well, since it is Florent Ghisolfi, who has played for Lens and Nice. And if this sale was not on the summer agenda, it would allow the Roazhon Park residents to invest more in the transfer window and to renew their squad in depth.
