Rennes’ second biggest purchase, PSG’s fifth biggest sale
Indeed, L’Equipe tells us that Rennes has managed to convince the club of the capital. In search of a surface fox to support Gatan Laborde and Martin Terrier, the Breton formation, which had approached Montpellier for Elye Wahi, will finally pay 25 million euros to secure the services of the native of Suresnes. In the history of the SRFC, only Jrmy Doku, recruited for 26 million Anderlecht in 2020, cost more.
For its part, Paris, which will also recover a percentage on resale, will complete the fifth biggest sale of its existence tied with Blaise Matuidi (Juventus) and Serge Aurier (Tottenham) but behind Gonalo Guedes (40 M€ Valence in 2018), David Luiz (€35m Chelsea in 2016), Ronaldinho (€32.3m at FC Barcelona in 2003) and Lucas Moura (€28.4m Tottenham in 2018). Quite a sum for a player who has only worn the club’s colors 5 times.
Two good seasons Lens
