Did the $40 Million Dream Just Fizzle? Rennes Delivers a Stinging Rebuff
Rennes rejected a lucrative bid for Mohammed Kader Maïté, the 18-year-old forward, keeping him at the club. Maïté joined Rennes in 2023 from Montrouge and has started to show his potential with 3 goals in 18 appearances this season. Al Hilal hoped to seal the deal in the January window, but Rennes emphasized his value to the squad. With a contract until 2028 and a market value around €12 million, Maïté’s stock continues to rise.
