Walter Benítez, the 32-year-old goalkeeper, has an expiring contract at PSV. Several clubs are interested in acquiring his services. PSV is considering making a new contract proposal to Benítez to prevent a free transfer, as the club is satisfied with his performance and acquiring a new goalkeeper would be costly.

Stade Rennes has shown interest in Walter Benitez as a potential successor to their 39-year-old goalkeeper Steve Mandanda. According to RMC Sport, Benitez, who is currently with PSV, has been pinpointed as a candidate by the club's management. He has previous experience in Ligue 1, having played for OGC Nice. With only six months left on his contract with PSV, Rennes' new coach, Jorge Sampaoli, is advocating internally for Mandanda's replacement. Nonetheless, there are doubts about the feasibility of the transfer, as Rennes is aiming for a winter move, which appears improbable given Benitez's significance to PSV and their ongoing Champions League campaign.
