Recruited for €15 million in July 2024, Albert Grønbaek embodied the ambition of Stade Rennais, but his promising debut was quickly overshadowed by the difficulties of his team. Integrated by Julien Stéphan, then repositioned under Jorge Sampaoli, the Danish midfielder failed to establish himself in a collective in crisis. Disappointed, he would have expressed his wish to leave this winter. Relegated to a loft with other undesirables, he symbolizes the errors of the last Breton transfer window.

But the month of January could quickly put a smile back on his face. Indeed, according to our information, Southampton and several German clubs have already expressed their interest in Grønbaek. The sporting situation at Stade Rennais, currently 14th in Ligue 1, could precipitate his departure, while the player initially hoped to make Brittany a springboard towards bigger championships. According to the specialized site Transfermarktthe player is still valued at 15 million euros on the transfer market.
