Just over two hours before the end of the summer transfer window, Rennes on Monday officially announced the names of two new recruits, apparently the latest: French midfielder Jonas Martin (Strasbourg) and Brazilian winger Raphinha (Sporting).
The Breton club, beaten for the first time this season on Sunday against Nice (1-2), would have spent some 20 million euros for Raphinha (22), a keen and comfortable player in the against-the-board which must make up for Ismaïla Sarr's departure from Watford. The Brazilian, who also has an Italian passport, has signed up for five seasons.
However, we do not know the duration of the contract Martin (29 years), who rejected an offer of extension of Racing to respond favorably to the approach of Rennes. "Jonas is a man and a player of great quality, leader who will bring us a different and complementary profile in our workforce, congratulated Olivier Létang, the president of the club. Our midfielder is now full to help us reach our goals and be competitive this season. "
