Stade Rennais continues its squad downsizing by loaning 22-year-old Senegalese central defender Mikayil Faye to 1. FC Nuremberg, a club in the German 2. Bundesliga. The deal includes an option to buy. Faye, who previously spent a season on loan at Italian side Cremonese, has struggled for playing time over the last two seasons, featuring in only 21 matches across all competitions for Rennes and Cremonese. He joined Rennes from Barcelona in the summer of 2024 for a transfer fee of €10.5 million and still has two years remaining on his contract. The loan move is intended to help the young defender relaunch his career after a difficult period.
