Valentin Rongier, midfielder of Stade Rennais, is about to return to Olympique de Marseille on the first day of Ligue 1. After five seasons as captain in OM, he was transferred to Rennes this summer. This return to his former club, scheduled for Friday evening at 8:45 p.m., raises both his enthusiasm and questions about his career choice.

The former Marseille captain does not seem evasive in the face of this confrontation. Despite an ankle injury in a friendly match against the Genoa, Rongier showed a reassuring attitude. He fully assumed his decision to join Rennes, explaining his choice without ambiguity.

Rongier, now key player at Stade Rennais, is ready to face his former club in a game that has an important personal dimension. His return to Orange represents a moment of return to the sources, where he will have to prove his worth and demonstrate that he has made the right decision for his professional future.
