The French Ligue 1 side has qualified to play in the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League and made Mohammed Salisu their prime transfer target.
The former club of Asamoah Gyan are in the market looking for defensive reinforcements but after failing to land their main target – the Real Valladolid Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu- they have now turned attention to Brazilian David Luiz.
Sporting Director Florian Maurice vowed to capture the 21-year old La Liga sensation but the Ghanaian selected Southampton in the end and now SPORTSWorldGhana.com understands Rennais are considering a deal for the 33-year old Arsenal defender who is coming out of a very difficult season.
Despite the performance drop of Luiz – who won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2012 – the people at Rennes believe that his vast experience will be vital for them in the short time ahead.
