As per information from Canal+ and citing Pierre Dréossi, Rennes’ general manager, significant developments are anticipated in the summer transfer window this week. Jean II Makoun is expected to undergo a medical examination on Monday, and the transfer of Yann M’vila is likely to be completed during the week.
The narrative of Cameroonian midfielder Jean Makoun is poised to reach its conclusion this Monday with the medical examination and the subsequent signing of his contract. According to Pierre Dréossi’s statements to Canal+, the transfer window for Rennes is expected to open up further with the anticipated departure of Yann M’Vila. However, the landscape has shifted, as Tottenham, initially keen on acquiring M’vila, now seems to have withdrawn interest. At a press conference, Portuguese coach André Villas-Boas stated, “He is a defensive player, and to fill the void left by Modric, we are seeking someone more creative. We were initially interested, but we’ve had a change of heart.” This raises the question of whether this is genuine disinterest or a tactical move to prompt Stade Rennes to reconsider their financial terms. Regardless, the M’vila transfer saga appears to be far from reaching its conclusion.
