Arriving last summer in Rennes, Nemanja Matic left Brittany on Wednesday and should never set foot in the Breton club again.
Arriving last summer, Nemanja Matic will probably not finish the season at Stade Rennais. While the Rouge et Noir coach, Julien Stéphan, was counting on him for the second part of the season, the midfielder (35 years old) was seen at Rennes station with his family and left Brittany on Wednesday morning.

According to Clément Gavard, journalist for the magazine So Footthe Serb emptied his locker at La Piverdière at the start of the week. West France specifies that he is heading to London for a few days. Before moving to a new club? The trend is in any case clearly towards a divorce with the SRFC.
Heading to OL or OM?
Several reasons convinced the former Manchester United and AS Roma player to pack up, the main one being personal. Nemanja Matic would be unhappy at not being able to enroll his children in an international school, contrary to what the leaders of the Breton club had promised him this summer.
He would also not have appreciated the unexpected departure of Bruno Genesio, replaced on the Rennes bench in November. It remains to be seen where it will bounce back. In League 1? It’s possible. Olympique Lyonnais are reportedly monitoring his situation closely and his name has also been circulating around Marseille.
