Stade Rennais’ pursuit of Mexer as a defender option at the end of the winter transfer window has come to an abrupt end. The club announced this development on its official social media channels, revealing that negotiations with the player and his representatives did not result in an agreement.
Despite the initial optimism surrounding Mexer’s potential signing, it appears that both parties were unable to reach a consensus. This news comes as a setback for Rennes, especially considering Mexer’s recent visit to the club for a medical examination and the previously agreed-upon terms between the two clubs.
As a result, Stade Rennais will need to explore alternative options to bolster their defensive lineup, particularly in light of the injury sustained by Cameroonian defender Jean Armel Kana-Biyik, who is expected to be sidelined for several weeks.
