After a loan experience in Lyon, Warmed Omari, a player under contract with Stade Rennais until 2027, joined the Hamburg club of Bundesliga, via a loan including a purchase option. This new stage marks a start from Brittany for the young defender, who had a relatively limited season with only four appearances and 277 minutes of play. The Lyon club, which did not opt for the lifting of its purchase option, facilitated this transfer.
At the same time, Lesley Ugochukwu, a 21-year-old midfielder at Stade Rennais, chose to join Burnley after a trip to Chelsea. After two seasons with the Blues and an experience in Southampton, where he experienced relegation, Ugochukwu joined Burnley until 2030. This transfer represents a new chapter in the career of the young player, who left Brittany to join Chelsea two years ago.
These movements are part of a policy to renew the staff of Stade Rennais. Warmed Omari, already loaned to Lyon the previous season, continues its development in Germany with Hamburg, which returns to the Bundesliga after seven years of absence. This loan, with a purchase option, offers the 25-year-old player a new opportunity to recover after a difficult 2023-24 season in Brittany. Omari totaled 94 professional matches, including 13 in European competitions, and made his Ligue 1 debut in August 2021 against Brest.
