The 2024-2025 season will remain as a disappointing and chaotic exercise for Stade Rennais. Despite major summer ambitions, the team has never found the stability necessary to perform. Julien Stéphan, kept in office after finishing the previous season, failed to revive the dynamics and was thanked during the season. His successor, Jorge Sampaoli, did not convince either, with sawtooth results and a philosophy little adapted to the workforce. It was finally Habib Beye who was called in a service firefighter to finish the year. To this instability on the bench was added an internal disorganization: after the departure of Florian Maurice in 2025, it was the sports director Massara, appointed to structure a new project, who left the club at the end of the season. The Rennes project lacked clarity, and the sporting results were strongly felt.
At the dawn of a decisive summer, Stade Rennais has no choice but to reinvent itself. The appointment of a new sports director, the choice of a coach to register in the person in the person of Habib Beye, and a transfer window to be rebuilt almost entirely will be the pillars of this revival. In this climate of uncertainty, the recent good news from Mathys Tel and Désiré Doué transfers offers a welcome bowl of air: thanks to the clauses and bonuses negotiated in the past, Rennes will receive several million euros. Enough to approach summer with a little more serenity, and finally initiate a rebirth hoped for by an entire club.
Thank you Désiré Goué and Mathys Tel!
Stade Rennais can rub their hands: the Breton club will touch a pretty jackpot thanks to two of its old jewels formed in the training center, Mathys Tel and Désiré Goué. Indeed, Rennes had intelligently negotiated a percentage to the resale of 25 % during the transfer of such to Bayern Munich in 2022. With the recent transfer of the French striker to Tottenham, estimated at several tens of millions of euros, this clause will bring big to the red and black club, without having to intervene on the market. For his part, Désiré Doué, transferred to Paris Saint-Germain a year ago, also continues to generate income for his training club.
The deal signed at the time included many bonuses, linked to individual and collective performance. These bonuses are starting to fall, and the total amount of the transfer could increase up to 65 million euros. A great reward for Stade Rennais, whose training work and the strategy of valuing young talents confirm their efficiency, both sportingly and financially. These financial benefits are timely named for Rennes, which can reinvest in its workforce or infrastructure while consolidating its reputation as a model training club. A virtuous circle that confirms the SRFC strategy, between talent, patience and long -term vision.
