Rennes look to offload 19 players | OneFootball

It will be a summer of great change at Stade Rennais, with the club looking to offload 19 players, according to a report from Foot Mercato.

Rennes spent big last summer and during the January transfer window, however, few of their purchases paid dividends. Frédéric Massara, the club’s sporting director, paid the price. After just one season in the post, he left earlier this month, replaced by Loïc Désire, who arrived from RC Strasbourg Alsace.

Dealing with a bloated squad, SRFC are looking to offload several elements, 19 to be precise. The club have given mandates to several agents in order to get as many players as possible off the books. Arnaud Kalimuendo, a reported target for Newcastle United, is expected to leave, whilst Adrien Truffert and Lorenz Assignon are also tipped for departures.

Returning loanees such as Baptiste Santamaria, Albert Gronbaek, Leo Ostigard, etc. will not be conserved by Rennes, whilst Bournemouth-linked Kyogo Furuhashi is expected to also depart.
