Despite the arrival of Seko Fofana at the start of the transfer window, Stade Rennais still has high ambitions. In search of new momentum after a frustrating defeat at Nice last Friday (3-2), the Breton club intends to strengthen its squad. The recruitment of a second star could change the situation, and the Rennes leaders are now looking towards Turkey to strike another big blow.
An ambitious transfer window from Rennes
According to information from Le Foot, Rennes are in advanced discussions to offer the services of Hakim Ziyech, currently in conflict with his coach at Galatasaray. The Moroccan international, known for his vision of the game and his precise shots, appears to be on his way out after a tumultuous period in Türkiye. The player, who shines for his offensive versatility, could find in Brittany a new challenge and a chance to relaunch his career in a more competitive championship.
The arrival of Ziyech would represent a second reinforcement from an exotic championship for Rennes, after the recent signing of Seko Fofana, from the Saudi Pro League. This duo would offer Stade Rennais a balance between creativity and solidity in midfield, a sector where the club has cruelly suffered during its last outings.
Sampaoli is waiting for another recruit in Rennes.
A response to a complicated start to the year
The defeat against Nice, despite great combativeness, confirmed the current shortcomings of the team led by Jorge Sampaoli. With a 12th place in the ranking, Rennes is far from its European ambitions. Supporters hope that the arrival of Ziyech could breathe new life into the squad, already reinforced by prestigious names this winter.
If the transfer materializes, Hakim Ziyech could be the providential man that Rennes needs to regain its momentum. While the transfer window is far from over, the Bretons are proving that they will stop at nothing to restore their image. The next few days will be decisive to know if the Moroccan international will join Ligue 1 and rock Roazhon Park.
