Stade Rennais finally managed to recruit Breel Embolo, the Swiss striker, after a period of hesitation when the player initially preferred a transfer to Serie A with AS Monaco. The agreement between the two clubs, including bonuses, amounts to EUR 15 million. This signature marks a new chapter for Embolo, who is committed to the next four seasons with Stade Rennais, under the direction of coach Habib Beye. The medical examination is already completed, and the player is expected in Brittany to finalize his arrival.

A passionate AS Monaco supporter, Jean-Julien, analyzed his team’s recent victory against Strasbourg. He pointed to a promising start to the game, marked by an effective cleaning, but deplored a tendency to slow down after taking the advantage, leaving the ball to the opponent. Although he hails the performance of Maghnech Akliouche and Balogun, he criticizes the tactical management of the coach, including the slowness of the match against Strasbourg. It highlights the 4-4-2 system and the choice to leave Minamino on the bench as positive points.

Other voices rose to comment on the AS Monaco victory. Delio Onnis, the club’s legend, expresses his unwavering attachment to Monaco, recalling an anecdote illustrating his passion. He referred to his regrets about the number of penalties missed and the difficulties to impose in Italian selection. Players and coach Caio Henrique, Folarin Balogun, Adi Hütter and Liam Rosario also expressed their satisfaction after the game, stressing the importance of this victory for the rest of the season.
