The legend of Olympique de Marseille has left the club after 15 years of good and loyal service. Steve Mandanda chose Stade Rennais for the rest of his career. From the height of his 37 years, he will have the opportunity to show all his talent, all his stops, in Ligue 1 for a few months for another two years.
It was the goal of Stade Rennais, during this transfer window. After announcing his departure via a questionable statement (it’s quite short), OM’s social networks have seen those of Stade Rennais formalize the arrival of El Fenomeno in their ranks. Steve Mandanda should be the number 1 goalkeeper, after the possible departure of Alfred Gomis. For this transfer, Rennes spent nothing thanks to Pablo Longoria, thanking him for services rendered.

Mandanda had a mixed final season. Competed by Pau Lopez during the first part of the season (5 starts in all competitions), the native of Kinshasa found playing time thanks to theEuropa Conference League and an end of season, Mandanda performed well during each of his appearances with 5 clean-sheets in total. In “conflict” with Jorge Sampaoli, the departure of the Argentinian has not changed the plans of the French goalkeeper, despite the arrival of Igor Tudor at the start of the week.
It is a legend who leaves Olympique de Marseille. Playing 613 games with the Olympian tunic, Mandanda has known OM everything, from his title in the Coupe de France in 2011/2012 to the complicated seasons in 2018/2019 or even 2020/2021. Regardless of the atmosphere at the Vélodrome, the French international was one of the best, one of the only ones to wet the jersey. El Fenomeno!
