Stade Rennes have reached an agreement to secure the signature of Franco-Gambian midfielder Mahdi Camara in the current summer transfer window.
Camara has been on the radar of several clubs in the ongoing summer transfer window following an impressive performance last season.
Despite being a target for OGC Nice, fellow French outfit Stade Rennes have won the race to secure the services of the Gambian midfielder and are expected to cough a fee in the region of €8m to snap up the player.
After an agreement has been reached between the two clubs and on personal terms, the 27-year-old will now travel east to Rennes to complete his medical before being unveiled as the latest addition to Habib Beye’s squad.
Camara will sign a 4-year deal that should keep him at Roazhon Park until 2029.
Nice had expressed an interest in signing the midfielder. However, after the Breton club registered their interest in signing the former Saint-Étienne midfielder, he gave his priority to them. Camara did originally agree to join Les Aiglons, but Rennes have swooped in at the final moment to hijack the move.
