Batista Mendy Transfer from Trabzonspor to Rennes

Rennes showed serious interest in signing Batista Mendy, offering up to 12 million Euro. However, Trabzonspor's expectation was 14-15 million Euro, and significant differences existed between Mendy's salary demands and Rennes' offer. This has led to the expectation that the transfer will not proceed.

Negotiations are ongoing between Trabzonspor and Rennes for the transfer of Batista Mendy. Rennes has offered a transfer fee of 12 million Euro. Trabzonspor is trying to increase the fee to 14-15 million Euro due to a 20% sell-on clause for Angers and a 10% sell-on clause for Mendy. There is also a difference between Mendy's desired salary and Rennes' offer. The transfer window in France closes on February 3, and a resolution is expected by the weekend.

Rennes is very interested in Batista Mendy and negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing. The French club has raised its offer to 12 million Euros. Additionally, there is talk of Glen Kamara being included in the deal on a loan basis to Trabzonspor.

Rennes, a Ligue 1 team, is reportedly interested in signing Batista Mendy from Trabzonspor. According to the French media, Rennes has submitted a transfer offer that reaches double digits in millions, whereas Trabzonspor's expectation is set at 15 million Euros. Mendy was acquired by Trabzonspor from Angers in September 2023 for a transfer fee of 4.4 million Euros. Due to a 20% sell-on clause, Trabzonspor considers offers in the range of 10-11 million Euros to be insufficient. Trabzonspor is contemplating waiting until the summer transfer window, but is also investigating alternative players in the event of a potential sale.

Rennes has begun discussions with Trabzonspor in an attempt to sign Batista Mendy. Although no official offer has been submitted, the negotiations are still in progress. Mendy, known for his versatility and ability to play in central defense, remains under contract until June 2027. Trabzonspor is asking for 15 million euros for his release. Rennes had previously expressed interest in Mendy earlier in the summer but encountered the same financial demands from Trabzonspor. Mendy is also being considered by several English clubs. The 25-year-old French midfielder, who joined Trabzonspor in September 2023, has quickly become one of the most notable midfielders in the league. Following the signings of Seko Fofana and Brice Samba, Rennes continues to actively search the winter transfer market, especially after the departures of players Meister, Santamaria, and Gronbaek.
