Warmed OMARI

Warmed Omari arrived at Stade Rennais FC’s Academy in the Summer of 2014 from local club TA Rennes. This tall centre-back had progressed consistently up to the season 2019/2020. During this season, he made his mark in the Reserve team and the UEFA Youth League tournament, just a few months after winning the National U19 Championship of France with Rennes. On 9th June 2020, Omari signed his first professional contract for one season with the club, with an option of two further years. Après 3 appearances on the bench with the Professionals, of which two came in the Champions League, he extended his contract to 2024 on 27th April 2021. He made his first team debut against Brest on 15th August 2021, and subsequently became a first-team regular under Bruno Genesio before extending his contract once more, this time to 2026, in December 2021. Despite a prolonged injury absence, and a few lapses in concentration in the 2022/2023 season, Omari returned to the regular starting XI at the beginning of the 2023/2024 campaign, alongside Arthur Theate in the heart of the Rennes defence. Just like his Belgian international teammate, the young defender signed another one-year contract extension on 14th September 2023, tying him to the club until 2027. After a very disappointing season, including two own goals to his name, the new Comoros international was loaned to Lyon, on 30th August 2024 for a cost of 0.5 Million Euros, with an buyout clause of 10 Million Euros.
