Stade Rennais is at the heart of a particularly complex case. A few days ago, we mentioned a concrete interest in the young Colombian winger Yaser Asprilla, 20 years old, belonging to Watford. But we revealed to you that his agent was on his way to negotiate directly with Leicester, promoted to the Premier League, unlike Watford.
But nothing is done yet. This morning, The Athletic mentioned an offer from Rennes accepted by Watford, for €28 million + bonuses. According to our information, this offer was made last week by the Breton club. From then on, it was a matter of reaching an agreement with the player and his agent.
Rennes has stalled
This is where things get complicated. Despite an attractive salary offer, around €1.2 million net per season, the Asprilla clan has clearly played with the nerves of the Breton leaders, on several details. Cooled, the latter have therefore decided to temporize in this matter, despite their accepted offer. Since then, the agent has launched discussions with Leicester, but everything can still change in this matter.
Already a Colombian international (6 caps, 2 goals), Asprilla will probably leave the English second division, where he scored 6 goals and provided 7 assists last season. Capable of playing in several positions, even if he shines particularly on the right wing, he will have to choose his next destination in the coming days.
