The number 9 file is still hot at Stade Rennais. While they sold Arnaud Kalimuendo to Nottingham Forest in exchange for € 30 million, Bretons are sorely lacking in resources in the offensive sector. And this was seen during the first two outings of the season against OM (1-0), then during the heavy defeat against FC Lorient (0-4), where Mousa Al-Tamari and Ludovic Blas need support. Recently, the Red and Black have targeted the Sporting Portugal striker in priority, Conrad Harder, to strengthen before the end of August.
And while the 20 -year -old Danish, author of 11 goals and 7 assists in 47 matches, seems the most feasible track, the Portuguese press recently said that he was also courted by AC Milan, but he would prefer to join the SRFC.

His physical condition has improved. Boni must continue to work. We think he can progress ”he said.
Faced with this situation, AC Milan therefore fell back on Conrad Harde, which becomes the priority target before the end of the transfer window. The agents of the Lisbon striker were at the club's headquarters today to chat with AC Milan, says Sky Sports. A blow for Rennes, while Habib Beye had recently announced his desire to recruit. “We want an additional attacker, we are on the market and we advance on our files, but we will not do anything, and we will not pay a price that does not justify it!” If we have to stay as it is, I am very happy with my current workforce, which is competitive ”he had assured. Stade Rennais is warned …
