Stade Rennais will secure the future of Mathys Silistrie. Starting for the first time against Les Sables Vendée Fontenay in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France (3-0, December 21), the 20-year-old goalkeeper is on the verge of extending his contract which ended at the end of the season.
According to our information, all parties have agreed to activate the option of two additional years negotiated at the time of his first professional contract last June. The understudy of French international Brice Samba (2 caps) should even commit until 2029, one more year, a fair reward for the one whom coach Habib Beye has not hesitated to move up the hierarchy of goalkeepers since the retirement of Steve Mandanda.
“He has progressed enormously in his personality within the group, in his ability to lead. He has a very good left foot when restarting, he has a lot of courage and personality in that area, explained the Rennes coach before giving him his first minutes at the end of the year. His progress is, in my opinion, one of the greatest for us. »
Born in 2005 like Désiré Doué, Mathys Tel or Jérémy Jacquet, the native of Drancy (Seine-Saint-Denis) is likely to experience his second start with the Rouge et Noir during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France against US Chantilly (N2) this Sunday at 6 p.m., in Beauvais.
