Fulham eye Morocco defender Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal in Stade Rennais transfer rumour

Morocco defender Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal is being linked with a move from Stade Rennais to Fulham, with the 20-year-old centre-back attracting reported interest from the Premier League club.

Ait Boudlal joined Stade Rennais in July 2024 and remains under contract until 30 June 2028. He has made 20 Ligue 1 appearances for the French side, scoring twice and providing one assist, with 1,402 minutes played.

The defender also spent part of the 2024-25 season on loan at Amiens SC, where he made nine Ligue 2 appearances and recorded one assist before returning to Rennes.

Ait Boudlal’s senior honours include winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Morocco in 2025. Born in Marrakech, he has represented the national side while developing his club career in France.

Fulham’s interest would represent a potential move to the Premier League for a player whose current market value is listed at €12m. No transfer fee or probability has been established for the proposed switch, and Ait Boudlal remains a Stade Rennais player with two years left on his contract beyond the current season.
