“ There is no desire on the part of Julien Stéphan and the club to part ways with Martin, in any case Julien has never mentioned this to us… We will see what the transfer window will be like, but there is no issue here.“On June 10, Stade Rennais boss Olivier Cloarec dodged the question of a possible departure of Martin Terrier, recruited for €12 million in 2020. But the next day, June 11, the main interested party opened the door to a future far from Roazhon Park.
“I don’t know their intentions. But I’ve been at Rennes for four seasons, maybe the club wants to start on another project, especially since there won’t be a European Cup next season, with new players. It wouldn’t be illogical for the club to want to renew its squad and for everyone to be able to find something there.“And apparently, all parties have found common ground. With two months to go before the end of his contract, Martin Terrier is sold to Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen for around €25 million, including bonuses.

“After writing his name in the club’s history, Martin Terrier signs for Bayer Leverkusen, the reigning German champion. Martin, thank you for everything, you will be Red and Black forever”announced Stade Rennais to make the news official. For the first time in his career, the French striker will experience life abroad. And what could be more exciting than starting with the reigning German champions?
Leader of the Rennes attack for four years, the former LOSC and Olympique Lyonnais player is closing a chapter in his career marked by 51 goals and 24 assists in 141 matches (all competitions combined), but also a serious knee injury which kept him off the pitch between January 2, 2023 and October 5, 2023.
