Despite Bruno Genesio’s interest, Stade Rennais should not recruit Samuel Umtiti. A disappointment for the Rouge et Noir coach, especially since the central defender has been the subject of embarrassing rumors for the rest of his career.
Faced with the departure of Nayef Aguerd to West Ham, and the long absence of Warmed Omari, the Rennais Stadium hopes to sign two centre-backs. One of them should be the South Korean Kim Min-jae, who could be the subject of a transfer from Fenerbahçe for 20 million euros. One thing is certain, it is that the Breton club has abandoned the Samuel Umtiti track which was not unanimous internally.
Genesio defends Umtiti
Convinced after his interview with the central defender of FC Barcelona, whom he had known at Olympique Lyonnais, Bruno Genesio must be disappointed. We can even speak of a feeling of anger for the technician after the rumors that Rennes would have failed Samuel Umtiti after his medical examination. ” We have said enough things. I take this opportunity to regret the false information that has been disclosed “, denied the coach of the Red and Black in a press conference.
« I don’t have any social networks but I was taught certain things and I’m sorry for Sam’, because in no case did he come for a medical examination, and even less a medical examination which would not have been conclusiveadded Bruno Genesio. This is false information which is serious, I find, for the player and us too. It tarnishes our image and my image because I also have a commitment with him. I don’t know who released the information but it’s a bit vicious and I find it very regrettable. And I weigh my words. After the Blaugrana’s numerous injuries, these rumors won’t help him find a new club.
