Albert Grønbæk has been officially loaned to Southampton from Rennes. Southampton has an option to purchase Grønbæk for 15 million euros. Grønbæk was recruited by Rennes for 15 million euros last summer. The transfer was confirmed by Southampton FC on January 21, 2025.

Albert Grønbæk, who had been sidelined at Rennes due to his wish to transfer, has already secured his next move. The 23-year-old attacking midfielder, who has played 16 matches and scored 2 goals in Ligue 1 this season, is set to join Southampton. Journalist Marc Mechenoua reported that Grønbæk would be signing with the English club. The Danish player arrived in England on Sunday evening and is anticipated to undergo his medical examination on Monday before completing a loan deal with a 15 million euro purchase option. This amount corresponds to what the Breton club had invested in his transfer last summer.
