Since the summer of 2022, questions relating to Rennes’ transfer window have not ceased to reverberate again this winter. If few starts were granted given the number of coveted players, this seemed to remain the right strategy given the team’s collective performance. However, now that incumbents are taking shape more easily, certain choices are about to be made.

In the aftermath of the defeat against Stade de Reims, however suffered on the clear score of 3 goals to 1, it is not the moment for Rennes to panic. Management can start focusing on the market, although no arrivals are expected in large numbers this winter in Brittany. On the departures front, however, the club must prepare for the future. Just as for the player of the future Matthis Abline, the short term would have left something to write about elsewhere in France.
An attractive new loan for the Rennais?
The year 2022 has been particularly rich for Matthis Abline on a personal level. First on loan from his club in Le Havre, the striker has fully blossomed in Ligue 2, to reach unanimity in Normandy. Several times awarded as the best player of the month in the second division, the player naturally returned to Rennes. While the issue of playing time was legitimately raised last August, Abline was still able to use his few minutes to score in Ligue 1 but also in the Europa League.
Still in place of the attacking quartet Bourigeaud, Kalimuendo, Gouiri and Terrier, the young player could, according to Le Parisien, be tempted by a new adventure, this time in Ligue 1 in winter. Last summer, Angers and Auxerre wanted to borrow the Rouge et Noire nugget without success. Today the AJA could win the case and complete the arrival of the prodigy in the next few days, thus strengthening themselves in view of keeping him at the end of the season. Alongside Niang, in Olympic form since half-timeAbline could yet again distinguish himself, this time among the French footballing elite.
