Stade Rennais strengthens squad with Oliveira signing and eyes on Chevalier and Cissé

Stade Rennais has completed the transfer of 19‑year‑old centre‑back Gonçalo Oliveira from Benfica, adding a young defensive prospect to a squad that already secured Adrien Thomasson. The club also appears in speculative reports about goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who is predicted by an AI analysis to be a logical destination for the 24‑year‑old after a difficult season at Paris Saint‑Germain. In addition, German side VfB Stuttgart has shown concrete interest in Rennes midfielder Djaoui Cissé, monitoring his situation as they prepare for a Champions League campaign.

The Breton club is active on several fronts this summer, aiming to reinforce its defence, goalkeeping and midfield positions ahead of domestic and European competitions.
