As expected, the Stade Rennais confirmed the signing of Brice Samba. The French international goalkeeper has signed a contract until 2029 with the Breton club. An inevitable outcome for the doorman, who wanted to take on a new challenge.

Samba confirmed it: his desire was to leave Lens. “

It’s a satisfaction because I wanted to join Stade Rennais FC. I’m relieved to have arrived to meet my new teammates and start training. I am joining a strong, stable, recognized club.”

Fofana, a presence that counted for Samba

Mike Maignan’s replacement clarified the reasons for his choice. “ The Breton people are a proud and strong people, it is gratifying to arrive in Rennes. I regularly played against SRFC when I was young and I often came to Roazhon Park in Ligue 1. I experienced very complicated matches there (smile) and I can’t wait to meet the supporters. I want to be as decisive as possible, that’s what brought me to the French team and I hope to continue this momentum“.

Another major asset: the presence of Seko Fofana, Rennes’ second major reinforcement this winter. “It’s also a great pleasure to meet Seko again, we’ve called each other a lot recently. I’m obviously looking forward to renewing our bond, that was our strength before and being able to repeat what we were able to do would be extraordinary. », concluded Samba in comments transcribed on the club’s official website.
