Loaned to Burnley during the second half of last season, Lorenz Assignon returned to Stade Rennais, where he is still tied until 2017. The right-back rather convinced his coach Julien Stéphan during his first weeks of training, but he remains determined to change air this summer, which also seemed to be the plan of the Rennes leaders.

AS Roma positioned themselves on him several days ago, and the 23-year-old player was even able to speak with sporting director Florent Ghisolfi and coach Daniele De Rossi. But now a new competitor has entered the fray according to our information. It is Aston Villa, the English club spending the most at the moment on the transfer window. Rennes wants to recover €10 million on the transfer of their player.
