Abdoulaye Diallo’s season with Rennes is set to end prematurely as the 21-year-old goalkeeper is loaned to Le Havre in Ligue 2. Diallo, who has only appeared six times in the Rennes goal since the 2009-2010 season, will join Le Havre on a loan without a purchase option.
Despite being often relegated to the third-choice goalkeeper this season, Diallo will have the opportunity to gain valuable playing time in Ligue 2 with Le Havre. The loan comes at a time when Rennes looks to address the expected departure of Zacharie Boucher, who is poised to sign with Toulouse.
Abdoulaye Diallo, undergoing a medical examination on Tuesday morning, is set to make the move to Le Havre and is expected to contribute to the team, compensating for the potential departure of Zacharie Boucher. Diallo, who was voted the best goalkeeper in Ligue 2 last season, remains under contract with Rennes until 2016 after a contract extension in May 2013.
