Martin Terrier is at a crossroads. After a great season on a personal level during the 2021-22 edition, the Rennes striker was stopped dead in his tracks by a terrible injury, contracted the following year. Sidelined for many months due to a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right knee, the Armentières native made his comeback in October 2023. Gradually finding his feet on the Rennes attack front, Martin Terrier ended the previous season with 9 goals and 3 assists in the bag for 35 appearances in all competitions with the Rouge et Noir.

Despite an honourable record and regaining his starting stripes under Julien Stéphan, who will replace Bruno Genesio in November 2023 on the SRFC bench, Martin Terrier recently took stock of his situation by leaving the door open to a departure.No discussion with the coach or with the management on this subject, nor my representative. I don’t know their intentions. But I’ve been in Rennes for four seasons, maybe the club wants to start on another project, especially since there will be no 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 their place there.“, he indicated in this regard.

Rennes knows Bayer’s intentions for Martin Terrier!

With two years left on his contract with Stade Rennais, Martin Terrier is getting very close to leaving after four seasons with the Roazhon Park residents. In this sense, we are able to inform that a German club has shown a concrete interest in the former Olympique Lyonnais player. It is Bayer Leverkusen. Winner of the Bundesliga for the first time in its history and defending champion in the German Cup, the Rhine club hopes to repeat the same feats next season. In order to compete on all fronts, the 2024 German champion intends to strengthen on all fronts.

It is with this in mind that Bayer Leverkusen has begun negotiations with Stade Rennais. In order to secure the services of the French international, the German club is said to be considering the possibility of including the arrival in the other direction of Adam Hložek, a 21-year-old Czech striker who has appeared 36 times with the Pillendreher for 7 goals and 5 assists and has been offered to Lens in the past. Subject to an agreement between all parties, as the final details remain to be settled, Martin Terrier could become the 6th player to leave Rennes this summer and would thus join his former teammate, Jeanuël Belocian, recruited at the start of the summer transfer window by the team managed by Xabi Alonso.
