Stade Rennais saw an important wave of departures this summer, including the finalisation of the transfer of Henrik Meister to the Pisue club, which lifted the option of buying the young attacker. Initially loaned to Pisue in January 2024, Meister now entered CDI until 2028, marking a new chapter in his career after his passage through Rennes. This decision made him the 18th player to leave the Breton club since the end of the previous season, illustrating a period of renewal and significant changes for the team.

At the same time, Baaptist Santamaria, one of the last remaining players of the 2021-2022 season, formalized her departure for Valencia. After a loan to Nice in January, the midfielder entered the Spanish club for two seasons. Santamaria expressed her attachment to Rennes supporters on social networks, highlighting the end of an era for the Breton club.

These two departures are part of a broader context of resourcing the Stade Rennais. The loss of key players like Muister and Santamaria underscores the need for the club to reinvent itself and build a solid future. These transfers, whether final or in the form of loans, reflect the club’s strategy to achieve its long-term sporting objectives.
