Footballer Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal was sanctioned by the Disciplinary Commission following his expulsion during the match against Olympique de Marseille. The expulsion, which occurred at the 31st minute following a sole on Amir Murillo, resulted in a two-game suspension with a suspended match. This sanction will prevent him from participating in the upcoming matches against Lorient and Angers in August, but he will again be available for the home match against Lyon in September. This news is a hard blow for the player, who had started the match against Marseille.

At the same time, Loic Badé, a defender who developed at Stade Rennais between 2021 and 2023, announced his transfer to Bayer Leverkusen. Although his visit to Rennes did not fully meet the initial expectations, he saw a significant increase. After a loan period and a definitive transfer to FC Seville in 2023, he won with the Andalusian club, even winning the Europa League in 2023. The 25-year-old defender signed a contract until 2030 with the Bayer Leverkusen for an allowance of over 20 million euros, where he will find his former teammates Martin Terrier and Jeanuël Belocian.

The departure of Loic Badé to the Bayer Leverkusen marks a new stage in the player’s career, which has seen a staggering rise since his visit to Rennes. This signature demonstrates his potential and the recognition he has gained in professional football. For Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal, the suspension is an obstacle to overcome, but he will have to focus on his next games to regain the confidence of his team and prove his worth. Both events illustrate the dynamic nature of the transfer market and the opportunities for talented players.
