Rennes are despite to sign an experienced midfielder to solidify the team heading into the new campaign. However, the French outfit is not the only club interested in Gueye, with fellow French side Paris FC expressing interest.
His current side, Everton, have not given up hope that he will continue his stay in England. The Premier League outfit have reportedly offered a one-year extension with an option to extend by a further year to the midfielder, but he has yet to accept the proposal.
