In order to convince Florian Maurice to leave Lyon, Stade Rennais seems ready to drop a heavy financial offer.
Announced for several days, the appointment of Nicolas Holveck as president, or rather general manager, of Stade Rennais now seems imminent, Ouest-France even claiming that the officialization of the successor of Olivier Létang, fired in February, could intervene this Wednesday after a meeting of the board of directors of the Breton club. Former leader of AS Monaco, Nicolas Holveck will probably not arrive alone in Rennes, since the latter wishes to have by his side a person likely to interface with Julien Stéphan, who had struggled to function with Olivier Létang, which the latter paid a high price for. And therefore a sports director in charge of recruitment is also expected.
For the regional daily, it is now Florian Maurice who is the number 1 target of Stade Rennais, the head of the recruitment unit of Olympique Lyonnais with a profile which collects all the votes on the side of Roazhon Park. In order to achieve their goals, the Pinault family, who own the Stade Rennais, are ready to make a big financial effort, aware that Florian Maurice can be a hell of a good recruiting team as he has proven himself at OL. If the latter has logically remained discreet about this possible Rennes offer, Jean-Michel Aulas should not be long in making his voice heard. Because even if Juninho now hunts on the same land as the head of the OL recruiting unit, the head of Lyon will probably not let Florian Maurice leave as easily as that.
