Valentin Rongier is about to leave OM to commit to Rennes. A rather unexpected marriage.
Stade Rennais is preparing to make a double blow on the market by unlocking not one but two Marseillais: Quentin Merlin and Valentin Rongier in this case. If we believe the echoes of the day, an agreement in principle was reached between OM and the Breton club for a global transaction of approximately 20 million euros – excluding bonus.
Inevitably, this announced double transfer makes people talk on the side of Nantes, the sworn enemy of Rennes footballistically speaking. The two players in question are pure products from the FCN training center, Canaries identified and affirmed before their arrival in Marseille.

Fatally in such a case, the little sentences of yesteryear resurfaces, and they are not to arrange a Valentin Rongier who in the past has not shown himself to the most tender with regard to the Stade Rennais. “As I have been in Nantes since I was small, it is necessarily a club that I see as enemy,” he was blowing during the 2017-2018 season in Ouest France as a derby approaches.
“I couldn't go there,” said Rongier
“” It is a club that does not attract me at all. And it is not as if I was passing here. It's my eighteenth season (in Nantes, editor's note), I have the club in me. I couldn't go there. I don't know if I would be welcome … “To see indeed, even if the sporting interest in the supporters will certainly not fail to take over.
Recently, players have taken the plunge without incident, going from yellow and green to red and black – and vice versa. Ludovic Blas and Matthis Albine are the symbols of a successful adaptation to the colors of the hereditary enemy.
