Steven NZONZI

On Friday 31st January 2020, Stade Rennais welcomed Steven Nzonzi from Roma on a 5-month loan with an option for an additional year. World Cup winner in 2018 with France, this central midfielder arrived to add some much-needed experience to a talented, but generally inexperienced squad. Nzonzi could also use this opportunity to strengthen his claim for selection for the upcoming European Championships. After just 7 appearances and a notable progression in performances, the season was called to a halt with Rennes finishing 3rd in the league. He loan-spell was thus automatically extended for an additional season.
