Stade Rennais eyes major summer signing as it prepares for Europa League

Stade Rennais, set to compete in the Europa League next season, is planning an aggressive summer transfer campaign. Club officials have hinted at a "big move" for a high‑profile attacker, though no name has been confirmed. Reported targets include Zuriko Davitashvili, Pablo Pagis, Lassine Sinayoko, Mohammed Amoura and Eliesse Ben Seghir, with supporters hoping for an even more prestigious name.

The club has already secured midfielder Adrien Thomasson from RC Lens and is working to retain its top scorer, Estéban Lepaul, who has attracted interest from Atlético Madrid, Benfica and other clubs. Other key figures under negotiation are Seko Fofana, Ludovic Blas, and the possible purchase option for Arnaud Nordin. Rennes aims to balance its squad ahead of European competition while maintaining its recent domestic momentum.

The transfer activity reflects Rennes' ambition to build on a successful season that saw them return to European football after two years, under manager Franck Haise.
