Stade Rennais FC is at the center of two major transfer developments this summer. Breel Embolo, the 29-year-old Swiss forward, is set to join Atlanta United for a fee of just over €17 million. Meanwhile, midfielder Jordan James, 22, is being targeted by Wolverhampton, who have reportedly offered over €10 million for his services.
What are the details of Embolo's transfer?
Breel Embolo, who scored 10 goals and provided 3 assists in 34 appearances during the 2025-2026 season, is set to become the second most expensive signing in Atlanta United's history. The MLS club has reportedly already reached an agreement with the player, and the transfer is expected to be finalized soon. Embolo joined Stade Rennais FC last summer after spending three seasons at Monaco.
Why is Jordan James of interest to Wolverhampton?
Jordan James, who spent last season on loan at Leicester, impressed with 11 goals and 4 assists in 34 Championship matches. Despite his preference for a return to the Premier League, the young midfielder could join Wolverhampton, who are now competing in the Championship after their relegation.
What does the future hold for Stade Rennais FC after these moves?
With the likely departure of Embolo and the potential sale of James, Stade Rennais FC will need to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. The Breton club will need to find quality replacements to compensate for these departures and remain competitive in Ligue 1.
