Yacine Benzia’s Future Still Uncertain with Rennes and Bologna Interested
Yacine Benzia remains at Olympique Lyonnais as the transfer window draws to a close, despite having the option to leave the club in search of more playing time. The Franco-Algerian striker, whose contract with Lyon runs until June 2016, has attracted interest from several clubs, including Ligue 1 side Rennes and Serie A outfit Bologna.
Rennes is particularly keen on securing Benzia’s services and is reportedly prepared to offer €3 million to bring him to Brittany. The Breton club sees the striker as a valuable addition to their squad and is hoping to reach an agreement before the window closes.
In addition to Rennes, Bologna is also keeping an eye on Benzia’s situation, with the Italian club showing interest in the 21-year-old. The allure of Serie A could potentially sway Benzia, but he will have to weigh his options carefully, especially with Rennes offering the possibility of staying in France and securing regular playing time.
As the clock ticks down on the transfer window, Benzia’s next move remains unclear, but he will need to decide soon if he is to leave Lyon for a fresh challenge.
