A new recruit is on the way to Stade Rennais. After Adrien Thomasson, Issa Soumaré, Gonçalo Oliveira and Nicolas Lemaitre, it is Eliezer Mayenda who will arrive in the coming days. After several days of negotiations with Sunderland, an agreement was reached. According to our information, this transfer amounts to €25 million, bonus included. Sochaux will receive 20% of the added value.
The 21-year-old center forward will return to France, three years after joining the Black Cats. The former Doubiste was loaned to Hibernian for a few months in the winter of 2024 to better return to Sunderland, where he performed in the Championship (45 matches, 8 goals, 5 assists). Competition in the Premier League has relegated him more to the bench, despite interesting entries.
