If Hugo Ekitike and Michael Olise made France shine in the Bundesliga this season, Anthony Caci also highlighted. It must be said that in the role of a right piston, the tricolor Olympic international has delighted throughout the season. Under the impetus of coach Bo Henriksen who decided to place and maintain the tricolor Olympic international in this position, the former Strasbourg was able to express his qualities as well as possible and discovered the qualities of a smuggler (7 offerings, the best total of his career) which allowed Mainz to win a place in the European Cup next season.
After three seasons spent in the Bundesliga, Caci (27) is at the crossroads as long as it was at the end of the contract in June 2026. Mainz, well aware of the situation, is currently trying to extend his lease. But that is without counting on the interest of many clubs seduced by its profile, its potential and its experience. Starting with Stade Rennais who placed the native of Forbach at the top of his list. The new strong man of the Mercato of the Breton club, Loïc Désiré knows the right piston well for having rubbed shoulders with it in Strasbourg.
Rennes sees in Caci the successor of Lorenz Assignon
Soon orphan of Lorenz Assignon who will join the VFB Stuttgart, Stade Rennais would see in Anthony Caci his ideal successor on the right right of his defense. If the Mainz player's profile is almost unanimous internally, it will not be easy to complete. If the player's value is estimated at ten million euros, which is largely in the strings of the Breton club, Rennes will have to face strong competition.
According to our information, Leeds United and Fulham in the Premier League keep an attentive eye on the player and are clearly interested. Identical situation for Borussia Dortmund since the BVB placed Anthony Caci on his tablets, but in Plan B. The file is therefore complicated for the Red and Black who work in parallel on another French Bundesliga player, Kiliann Sildillia, the promising right side of Friborg who had a complicated season in Germany.
