Now that Habib Beye finally seems to have found the right formula after a particularly sluggish and complicated start, Stade Rennais should not move too much on the winter transfer market. The door is nevertheless open to a few elements which do not or no longer fit into the coach’s plans.
Like Glen Kamara, the thirty-year-old Finnish midfielder who only has a handful of official minutes in the first part of the season. He is the last survivor of a 2024 transfer window that Stade Rennais and its then sporting director, the Italian Frédéric Massara, failed from start to finish. Kamara signed up in the summer of 2024 with the Breton club, with a four-year contract, signed until 2028.
€3.75 million was amortized
To recruit him from the English club Leeds United, Rennes invested 10 million euros. A tidy sum that the Breton club has partly written off. Only in part, this winter, this is equivalent to 3.75 million euros. There therefore remains 6.25 million euros to cover in the ratio of transfer compensation and contract years. Knowing that Glen Kamara is estimated by the Transfermarkt platform at 2.5 million euros, Stade Rennais is perhaps (too) far from the mark.
