Manchester City and Rennes Reach Agreement on Jeremy Doku Transfer.
- A Deal Worth €65 Million, Including Add-ons, Has Been Accepted by the Ligue 1 Side
- Jeremy Doku Informed Rennes of His Desire to Join Manchester City and Was Absent During the Draw Against Lens
- A Five-Year Contract Has Already Been Agreed Upon in Anticipation of an Upcoming Medical Examination
- Manchester City has reached an agreement with Rennes for the transfer of Belgian forward Jeremy Doku, as confirmed by 90min.
- Doku expressed his desire to join the treble-winning Manchester City and was absent from Rennes’ match against Lens over the weekend.
- Rennes has accepted City’s offer, totaling €65 million, which includes add-ons. Personal terms for a five-year contract have already been agreed upon, and a medical examination is on the horizon.
- Despite interest from Chelsea and a bid from West Ham, the 21-year-old had his heart set on a move to Pep Guardiola’s side.
- Rennes head coach Bruno Genesio made pointed comments about Doku’s absence during the draw against Lens, implying a pending transfer.
- Doku is being targeted to fill the void left by Riyad Mahrez, who departed for Al Ahli in July after five successful years at the Etihad. The Belgian international will provide additional attacking prowess, especially important given the recent long-term injury to midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne.
- Pending a successful medical, Doku will become City’s third first-team signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Croatian internationals Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol.
- Joao Cancelo is edging closer to a loan move to Barcelona after expressing his desire to leave, while Dani Olmo has maintained his focus on Leipzig amid City’s transfer links.
- The Premier League champions remain optimistic about retaining Bernardo Silva, who has been heavily linked with Barcelona but could still extend his contract in Manchester.
