Breel EMBOLO

Stade Rennais were on the lookout for players to bolster their attack during the Summer transfer window in 2025. The Red and Blacks were knocked back with the ultimate failure of the negotiations with Conrad Harder (Sporting Portugal). Sporting Director Loïc Désiré thus turned to Breel Embolo. On Transfer Deadline Day, 1st September 2025, minutes before the window closed, the Swiss international striker signed for Stade Rennais on a four-year contract, in a deal worth 13 Million Euros plus 2 Million Euros in bonus, from Monaco. The Swiss striker integrated well into the Rennes side, helping them to qualification for the Europa League in his 34 appearances in a Red and Black shirt. His stay at Rennes was designed to help him get his way back into the Swiss national team ahead of the World Cup in America, and then move on to pastures new. In the Summer transfer window in 2026, Atlanta in the MLS came in, and Embolo ended his one-year stay in Brittany, having netted 10 times and provided 2 assists for Stade Rennais. The Swiss international signed for the American outfit in a deal worth 17 Million Euros plus 1 Million Euros bonus.
