Stade Rennais is working to strengthen its attack before the end of the transfer window, this Monday February 2 at 8 p.m. While it has just sold Kader Meïté to Saudi Arabia and is preparing to announce the arrival of the young Moroccan Yassir Zabiri, the Breton club is looking for one last recruit. A very concrete path leads to Germany with Arnaud Nordin (27), who plays for Mainz where his contract ends in June 2028.
According to our information, discussions have been initiated in recent hours with the former Saint-Étienne and Montpellier player who could make his return to France. The different parties exchange on the basis of a loan with an option to purchase. It is precisely on this very precise point that we will have to agree. At this stage, the file is indeed open but has not yet been completed. In Mainz since January 2025, the native of Paris, rarely a starter, has played 19 matches this season.
