We no longer stop Stade Rennais in its spendthrift madness.
After having already invested more than 70 million euros last summer, the Breton club is once again very active during this transfer window.
A few days before the closure of the transfer market, the Rouge et Noir formalized the arrival of Croatian midfielder Lovro Majer on Thursday.
Aged 23, the Dinamo Zagreb player has signed up for five seasons with the Breton club.

To secure the services of the young Croatian international, considered the new Luka Modric in his country, Stade Rennais has paid close to 13 million euros.
A nice sum that is in addition to the 50 million already slammed since the beginning of the summer to sign Badé, Sulemana, Santamaria and Meling, making Rennes the most spending club in Ligue 1 during this transfer window in front of PSG.
A "quality of passing and a sense of the game", according to Florian Maurice
Trained at Dinamo Zagreb, Lovro Majer discovered the professional world at Lokomotiva Zagreb before returning to his training club with whom he won three championships in a row.
The left-handed midfielder will bring his technique to the Rennes midfield.
"He is a midfielder, 8 or 10, rather creative who can bring, by his quality of passing and his sense of the game, things that we may not necessarily have today", estimates in a press release Florian Maurice, technical director of Stade Rennais.
