Stade Rennais is active in all directions during this summer window. While several departures have already been confirmed (Enzo Le Fée, Martin Terrier, Jeanuël Belocian, Matthis Abline and Guela Doué), the Breton club has at the same time acquired the Dane Albert Grønbaek and the Finn Glen Kamara, who arrived from FK Bodø/Glimt and Leeds United. More recently, it was the Norwegian Leo Østigård who arrived from Naples. But that’s not all. Ready to return to the top of Ligue 1 in the 2024-2025 season, SRFC has also looked into an attractive new avenue…
Under contract until June 2025 at Watford, Yáser Asprilla (20 years old) has thus attracted the attention of the Rennes management. Seduced by the profile of the young Colombian winger, the board of the Red and Black has also concretely approached the English team to study the feasibility of a transfer. Yes, but there you have it, if the Rennes were indeed in the running in this case, the competition risks putting an end to the Breton hopes.
Leicester on pole for Yáser Asprilla
While Porto was also among the contenders, it is towards Leicester that the native of Bajo Baudó should fly. According to our latest information, his agent is currently in England to negotiate a deal that could reach 25 million euros. Right winger, capable of playing in an attacking midfield role, Yáser Asprilla should therefore not join Stade Rennais this summer. Still according to our indiscretions, this would be explained in particular for a financial reason…
Indeed, the representatives of the Colombian international (6 caps, 2 goals) were hoping for more than 10% commission in this operation, which is illegal in France. Enough to cool the trail leading to Stade Rennais. As a reminder, Watford’s number 18 is coming off a season with 6 goals and 7 assists in 44 Championship matches. If he arrives at Leicester, the interested party would then pass a new milestone in his young career by joining the Premier League.
