Disappointing twelfth in Ligue 1 last season, Stade Rennais, however had some satisfactions. We can note the emergence of young elements like Djaoui Cissé and Jérémy Jacquet but also the solid season of Arnaud Kalimuendo. At 23, the native of Suresnes has achieved his best season with the Bretons since his arrival against 20 million euros from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2022. Thus, he had scored 18 goals and delivered 4 offerings in 34 games.
Interesting services for a player followed by AC Milan, Juventus and AS Roma whose price of 25 million euros has been set. However, the tricolor U21 International which was also cited in the past in Germany in Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt has still not moved 4 days before the resumption of the season and this enticing Rennes – Olympique de Marseille.
Three English clubs are interested
Nevertheless, this could well evolve in the coming days. Indeed, it is not only Italy and Germany who love Arnaud Kalimuendo because it also appeals to England. According to information from The Athleticthe promoted Leeds United made an offer of 25 million euros for the player. A prize accepted by Stade Rennais, which had thus received a proposal for adequacy with its requirements.
However, the project did not convince Arnaud Kalimuendo who rejected the idea of a transfer to the Peacocks. Two other English clubs are also in the ranks and chat with the Bretons. First of all Brentford who is looking for a new scorer after the departure of Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United. The other concerned club is Newcastle who is looking for a goalscorer after many failures like Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko.
