Loaned during the winter transfer window by Olympique Lyonnais to Stade Rennais, without an option to buy, the striker did not convince the Breton club, which will not make any offer to OL.
Last January, and noting the real break between Karl Toko Ekambi and his supporters, OL had negotiated with Rennes. And quickly an agreement was reached. “ Olympique Lyonnais informs of the paid loan, without option to buy, of Karl Toko Ekambi at Stade Rennais until June 30, 2023 for an amount of 1.5 million euros, to which could be added a maximum bonus of 1 million euros linked to Rennes’ performance in Ligue 1 and the number of matches played by the player “, announced OL, without saying what was this famous number of games played by KTE. But at the start of the last four games of the season, it is clear that after an appreciable start, Toko Ekambi has fallen into line and has no chance of staying at Rennes.

In Ouest-France, Laurent Frétigné paints a rather gloomy picture for the Cameroonian international striker, who still has a year of contract with Olympique Lyonnais and should therefore make a quick return to OL before a very likely transfer. ” Karl Toko Ekambi has arrived on a six-month loan to make up for Martin Terrier’s absence. After accumulating playing time upon his arrival, “KTE” has not played much since April 1 and the defeat against Lens. His performance remains insufficient, three goals (including two in the Europa League) and an assist. Without claiming to replace Terrier, he never made him forget writes the journalist from the regional daily. It now seems obvious that the striker will not stay in Rennes, but OL, where the player had complained of being the target of racist attacks from a small section of Lyon supporters, will not want him either. keep.
