Mercato: Rennes completes an incredible transfer! (OFFICIAL)

Stade Rennais completed an operation this Thursday that will remain in its history.

It was announced, it’s now official: Jérémy Doku is a Manchester City player. The young Belgian striker (21) was transferred to the British club on Thursday after successfully passing the traditional medical examination on Wednesday. Doku has signed a 5-year contract with the reigning European champions. He is therefore linked to Manchester City until 2028.

Stade Rennais is carrying out a historic operation with this sale since this transfer is estimated at 60 million euros, bonus included. Impactful, fast, dribbler, Jérémy Doku has not yet expressed his full potential in Brittany. But his performances were promising enough to catch the eye of Pep Guardiola, who was looking for a breakthrough striker to expand his attacking sector.

Doku, the big blow of the transfer window

“It’s a great day for me, both personally and professionally,” Doku said in remarks transcribed by the English club. “Manchester City are the best team in world football, so joining them is something very special for me and my family. I’m a young player with so much to learn and improve. Working with Pep and his staff, and playing alongside these players, will make me a much better player. I’m sure. Watching City last season was amazing. Winning the treble is the hardest thing in football and they did it. You can’t imagine how exciting it is to join this team. I am excited to begin. I hope I can make the fans happy“, concluded the new number 11 of the Sky Blues.
