• Stade Rennais has already lost Damien Da Silva and Clément Grenier but will continue to downsize its squad deemed "too large".

  • The club would like to keep Eduardo Camavinga, on condition of extending him, and discuss for Steven Nzonzi.

  • Several players should pack their bags before the resumption of the championship in August, in a transfer window that promises to be complicated.

The transfer window that will open will be like no other.

After a season without an audience, the overwhelming majority of football clubs will show colossal deficits, leaving little room for the madness that normally takes hold of the transfer market.

Stade Rennais, whose losses are estimated at just under 40 million euros, will not escape the regime, even though its shareholder is one of the largest French fortunes.

After the failed epic in the Champions League, François Pinault's club will still have to downsize this summer, despite his qualification snatched for the Europa Conference Conference.

But will he succeed?

Here is our grid of predictions for next season.

And there are some nice odds.

It discusses for Nzonzi and Camavinga

Faced with the press on Monday, Stade Rennais president Nicolas Holveck was clear.

“The goal is to reduce the workforce.

It is too wide.

But we will not be able to free ourselves from all the players as we want ”.

The president did not wish to mention any names.

But we already know that Clément Grenier, not kept, and Damien Da Silva, announced in Lyon, will no longer be present.

Just like Jordan Siebatcheu, whose purchase option was exercised by Bern, and Lilian Brassier, who will remain at the Stade Brestois.

🔴 Info RMC Sport - Camavinga has announced to its leaders that he will not extend, and he wants to go to PSG.



💰 Rennes is asking for 100 million euros for its jewel, to which only one year of contract remains.

With the biggest salary in the locker room, can Steven Nzonzi stay?

We doubt it, even if the player has let it be known that he feels good at Rennes.

Loaned by Roma, where he has one year of contract left, the world champion will be difficult to keep.

“He's an essential player.

We're going to sit down with him to chat.

We will consider next season with him, ”assures Nicolas Holveck.

The future of Eduardo Camavinga could also be written elsewhere.

RMC

announces its desire to go to PSG but the management denies it.

"For me, he is not ready," assured Florian Maurice.

The young French international has a year's contract left, expected at the Euro espoirs from May 31 to June 6.

"It will undoubtedly be one of the soap operas of the summer".

They should go

On loan to Al-Ahli where he does not play, Mbaye Niang could well leave, provided he is able to sell him.

"The idea will be to find a solution for him," warns the sports director.

This could be the case for Jérémy Gélin and Sasha Boey, on loan at Antwerp and Dijon and who will no doubt be barred by the competition.

Irregular, Brandon Soppy could also pack his bags and see Lorenz Assignon, back from a conclusive loan in Bastia, pass him in front of him as Hamari Traoré's understudy.

Finally, James Lea-Siliki could also leave, he who lived a delicate season and played very little, being even removed from the group of Bruno Genesio.

We do not know what could become of Yann Gboho, under contract until 2023 but very little used by the new Bretons coach.

They should stay

It took a long time to get started. But Jérémy Doku has clearly made a place for himself in the Rennes squad this season, being decisive on several occasions on his crazy dribbling. Summoned with the Belgian national team for the Euro, the 18-year-old should stay in Rennes. But the former Anderlecht is very followed by great Europeans. "He will stay in Rennes, regardless of the offer," warns Florian Maurice. The president tempers. “If there is an offer for 100 million, we will think about it. Otherwise, he will stay, ”adds Nicolas Holveck.

At a press conference after the victory against Nîmes, Bruno Genesio announced his intention to keep Benjamin Bourigeaud, Nayef Aguerd, Hamari Traoré and Flavien Tait.

The Rennes managers also want to keep Adrien Truffert, a real revelation of the season.

But the side, like his friend Faitout Maouassa, will be scrutinized during the Euro hopes.

In attack, Martin Terrier and Serhou Guirassy will be retained and will undoubtedly be supported by Matthis Abline, who played his first minutes as a pro.

“He's doing amazing workouts, you should see.

We have to make our young people play, ”warns the president.

Warmed Omari and Wesley Ugochukwu could see their playing time increase.

Upcoming projects

"We are looking for a central defender, who can take the place of Damien (Da Silva)".

Florian Maurice did not betray a secret and is already working to replace the Rennes captain, who did not wish to extend.

It will be necessary to do better than when recruiting Dalbert and Daniele Rugani, recruited on loan for the Champions League but little used.

The midfielder if provided could also be plucked in the event of the departure of Camavinga and Nzonzi.

It is not known what will be the place of Jonas Martin, often injured since his arrival in Rennes in 2019 and who has only played 19 games in two years.
