Yassir Zabiri, a 20-year-old Moroccan striker, is set to leave Stade Rennais on loan just six months after his arrival from Famalicão for €10 million. According to Foot Mercato, Zabiri has agreed to join Racing Santander in La Liga, with only final details remaining. Zabiri has struggled for playing time at Rennes, featuring in only 6 matches for a total of 42 minutes, partly due to a mid-season coaching change from Habib Beye to Franck Haise. The striker, who was the top scorer at the U20 World Cup with Morocco, seeks consistent game time to continue his development. His contract with Rennes runs until 2029.

Source report

Yassir Zabiri is set to leave Stade Rennais just six months after his arrival. According to our information, the 20-year-old Moroccan striker has agreed to join Racing Santander on loan, where he will play in La Liga. Only final details remain to be finalized.

Hampered by very limited playing time in Brittany and now less considered following the coaching change — with Habib Beye's departure mid-season and Franck Haise's arrival — Zabiri's primary goal was to secure consistent game time to continue his development.

Limited Impact at Rennes

Arriving last January from Famalicão for €10 million, with a contract running until 2029, Zabiri has played only 6 matches for Rennes, totaling just 42 minutes on the pitch.

This marks a frustrating turn for a player who had made a name for himself just months earlier at the U20 World Cup, where he finished as top scorer with Morocco.

A Fresh Start in Spain

The loan move to Spain is expected to allow Zabiri to regain rhythm and fulfill the promise that led Rennes to invest in him.
