Rennes is also interested in Haris Belkebla, posing a competition to Sassuolo for the player's signature. Sassuolo is keen on securing Belkebla in the January transfer window to strengthen their squad, currently competing in Serie B, and prepare for a potential return to Serie A. Belkebla, an Algerian midfielder playing for Angers, has made 11 appearances in Ligue 1 this season. Rennes, another club vying for Belkebla, represents a significant challenge in Sassuolo's pursuit of the player.
