Rennes couldn’t fight off Bayern Munich’s bid for the super-talented striker Mathys Tel and everyone at the club knew they had to do a good job to make up for the loss of their biggest gem for just over 20 million euros. Rennes seem to have succeeded in their intentions as news comes from France that the second biggest deal in the club’s history has been signed!Rennes have reached an agreement to buy Paris Saint-Germain’s pupil Arnaud Kalimuendo for 25 million! The French champions will also receive a percentage of the next sale, while Rennes managed to beat Leeds to the signature of one of the best players of his generation.##NAJAVA_MECA_6557031##Kalimuendo was ‘brought up’ by PSG, but he didn’t record any minutes for the Saints. He spent the last two years on loan at Lens, where he gained experience, but no coach seriously counted on his services. In Paris, they therefore decided to release Kalimuendo in order to finance earlier expenses and relieve the payroll, while Rennes apparently estimated that the 20-year-old goalscorer is worth the mentioned 25 million euros and that he could bring much more in the future.🚨 Arnaud Kalimuendo will sign for Rennes for €25m. He’ll sign a 5-year deal.(Source: @lequipe ) pic.twitter.com/TqjJ9t7Gr3— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) August 10, 2022 Kalimuendo’s transfer will be only one million euros “shorter” than the club record signing – Jeremy Doku, who was not his best self during these two years. Last season he had only two assists and three goals, this season he started as a reserve. A reminder, the club also gave 19 million euros to Bologna for Arthur Theate, who scored an own goal on his debut… It is still early to tell but we Rennes should know what they are doing with Kalimuendo…
