Fellow Ligue 1 clubs Stade Reims have also shown an interest in the 19-year-old right-sided defender with Udinese the favourites to land the player who’s deal at Rennes ends next summer. He has been offered an extension but found it unconvincing while Rennes coach Bruno Génésio is preparing Lorenz Assignon to become Hamari Traoré’s understudy this season.
