Danish international Albert Grønbæk undergoing Genoa medical | OneFootball

Albert Grønbæk (24) is nearing an exit from Stade Rennais, with L’Équipe reporting that he is currently undergoing his medical at Serie A side Genoa CFC. However, the French outlet explains that a full agreement between the two clubs has still not been reached. In particular, Genoa and Rennes have not reached an agreement on the clauses surrounding the €11 million purchase option attached to the loan deal.

Grønbæk only arrived at Rennes last summer when he was signed for €15 million from Norwegian club Bødo/Glimt. The Danish international had a bright start, but performances dipped, and he soon began to struggle in the north of France under Julien Stéphan and Jorge Sampaoli. He was sent out on loan in the winter transfer window to Southampton FC, but injuries curtailed his involvement.

Rennes had initially been open to involving him in the squad and giving him a chance to meet with Habib Beye (who arrived as the head coach after he had left for the Premier League side), however, Grønbæk reportedly wanted a fresh start away from Les Rouge et Noirs.
