Transfers and Contracts

By signing with Sunderland on 16 Million euros fee, Asamoah Gyan has become the second biggest transfer ever completed for a player leaving the Stade Rennais. Here’s a top 10 of the Stade Rennais player, sorted on the transfer fee triggering their departure.

The Guinean international was only passing by at the Stade Rennais, remaining on the Vilaine bank for a year only. Never really considered by Frédéric Antonetti, Ismaël Bangoura eventually left through the back door to join Al Nasr (United Arab Emirates). The story behind a genuine failure.

The Stade Rennais’ Guinean striker signed a contract with the club of Al Nasr in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The transfer fee is thought to be around 8 million pounds, according to information from the Mensuel de Rennes. The transfer was made official by the club this afternoon.

A few hours before the end of the transfer market, things are quickly evolving. Asamoah Gyan and Ismaël Bangoura seem well on their way to foreign clubs. To replace these departures, Rennes is thought to be following former U21 French international Yoan Gouffran (Bordeaux).

A few hours before the end of the summer transfer window, the Stade Rennais could yet again be one of its main actors, if rumours were to be confirmed. Between ambition, competition and desire to leave, who amongst Bangoura, Fanni, Gyan or even Marveaux will rock the transfer market?

Shortly after Samuel Souprayen, Yacine Brahimi and Tongo Hamed Doumbia, the Stade Rennais extended the contract of another of them best youngsters, Yann M’Vila, until 2014. The midfielder had already extended his contract in September. A way for the Stade Rennais to show their attachment to the 2009-2010 season’s revelation, just selected for the second time with France.

Contracted to Rennes until June 2012, Tongo Hamed Doumbia has signed a two years extension of his contract with the “Rouge et Noir”, the club’s official website announced today. The young midfielder is now tied to the Stade Rennais until June 2014.

After Danzé and Souprayen, the Stade Rennais has officially announced Yacine Brahimi’s three year contract extension. Tied to the club until June 2011, the attacking midfielder has extended by three more years, and is now contracted to the club until June 2014.

Speaking to RMC, Pierrre Dréossi gave a new update on the club’s summer transfer market. For the first time, he didn’t refuse the possibility of Gyan leaving the club this summer, in case a “serious offer” was addressed. The Pinault Family’s right-hand man also admitted the Stade Rennais would consider Bangoura’s departure, and affirms Fanni won’t leave Rennes for Atletico Madrid.

The Servette Genève announced Julian Esteban’s arrival on Saturday evening on their website. The swiss striker, already loaned to Servette last season, has agreed on a contract termination with Rennes. Return on the player’s career in Brittany: A perfect flop.
