Stade Rennes Moves to Sign Ilyas Ben Sagheer

Stade Rennais has entered the race to sign Moroccan international Elias Ben Seghir during the upcoming summer transfer window, as part of its efforts to strengthen the forward line in preparation for European competition in the new season.

According to French media reports, the team's new coach, Franck Haise, has expressed clear admiration for the capabilities of the Moroccan player, given his great speed, technical skills, and ability to make a difference in the attacking third. This has made him one of the most prominent names considered by the club this summer.

The same reports confirmed that Rennes' interest aligns with the wishes of those close to the player, who prefer a loan experience in the upcoming phase to gain more playing time and regain competitive readiness after a period marked by fluctuating participation.

The young Ben, aged 21, is experiencing a challenging season with Bayer Leverkusen after joining the German team in the summer of 2025 from Monaco on a contract lasting until June 2030. However, injuries have significantly impacted his participation with the team during the current season.

Stade Rennais considers the signing of the Moroccan player to be a strong addition to its sports project, especially after finishing the season in sixth place in the French league, which secured them a spot in the Europa League. The club continues its efforts to build a team capable of competing both domestically and continentally.
