Career |
|
On 6th July 2020, Martin Terrier signed for Stade Rennais on a 5-year deal with a transfer valued at 12 Million Euros with 3 Million in possible bonuses, and 15% of any added-value if sold on subsequently to another club. The striker in the French U21 team arrived from Lyon. He was the first recruit of new Director of Football, Florian Maurice, who had already attracted the player to join Lyon in 2018. His first season was discrete, but promising, scoring 9 goals and responsible for 7 assists, making him the best passer at Rennes in a season which was marked by their first-ever participation in the Champions League, which Terrier had already experienced with Lyon previously. In the 2021/2022, his career took off in earnest under the leadership of Bruno Genesio, scoring 21 goals in the First Division, surpassing even Nonda and Frei for the number of goals scored in a league season. He was given the accolade of Ligue 1 Player of the Month in March 2022, and was placed in the League's Starting XI of the Season by the UNFP (French Professional Footballers Union). He would be courted by Premier League clubs during the summer of 2022, shortly after being pre-selected for the French National Team, but on 24th August 2022, he signed an extension to his contract with a significant increase in wages.
