Rennes rule out Arthur Theate departure amid Serie A interest
According to L’Équipe, Stade Rennais have ruled out selling Arthur Theate (23) this January, despite the club looking set to complete the signing of Clermont Foot’s Alidu Seidu (23).
Despite a difficult start to the season, Rennes’ players remain highly coveted this month. Arnaud Kalimuendo is a target for Eintracht Frankfurt, whilst Olympique de Marseille have enquired about Adrien Truffert, however, Les Rennais are remaining firm in their stance that none of their key assets are on the market this month.
Rennes’ resistance to negotiate a move for Truffert has forced Marseille to look at alternatives, according to Foot Mercato, with FC Nantes’ Quentin Merlin being lined up. Napoli and AS Roma, both of whom hold an interest in Belgium international Theate, may also have to look elsewhere.
The former Bologna centre-back, who has previously garnered interest from Liverpool, will not be allowed to leave Rennes this month.
