Where Rennes ended up for 2026-27
Stade Rennais finished sixth in Ligue 1 with 59 points, edging into the Conference League places and giving the club a European campaign to build around. The season's defining moment on the bench came mid-year: after Habib Beye's departure, Franck Haise took over — and on 7 August 2026 the club confirmed that Haise and his staff had signed a new contract through 2028, a clear vote of confidence before his first full season in Brittany. The defining moment in the accounts came even earlier: in January 2026, Rennes sold young centre-back Jérémy Jacquet to Liverpool, one of the biggest sales in the club's history. That windfall funded a busy, structured window, with confirmed arrivals including midfielder Adrien Thomasson from Lens, forward Issa Soumaré on a free transfer from Le Havre, goalkeeper Nicolas Lemaître from newly promoted Troyes, midfielder Gonçalo Oliveira, striker Eliezer Mayenda and American right-back Bryan Reynolds. The market has now closed, and the accounting is simple: Rennes go into the season with 26 players — three goalkeepers, nine defenders, seven midfielders and seven forwards. That is the group Haise has to win with until January.
The clear-out that did and did not happen
Franck Haise was unusually public about his squad maths during the summer: the French press quoted a target of roughly 23 to 24 outfield players, against a group that stood at around 35 when the window opened. The final count says the trimming went a long way without going all the way — 23 outfield players remain, still a few above the stated ideal, with nine of them defenders. That leaves Rennes fans a genuinely interesting board to fill in now that nothing more can be bought or sold until January. Who actually starts? Samba or Lemaître in goal, and does Merlin or Reynolds own a flank? Do Thomasson, Blas and Rongier all fit in the same midfield, or does one of them become an expensive substitute? Is Lepaul the number nine, with Mayenda and Soumaré rotating around him, or is that hierarchy still open? And with a Conference League campaign added to the calendar, is a squad of 26 actually the right size rather than a problem to solve? Sort the settled Rennes squad into keep, sell, loan and release, export your board, and make your case for what the club should do when the market reopens in January.
FAQ
Is this Stade rennais FC's official squad list?
No — by design. This page is a fan board for Rennes: you sort the 26 players (3 keepers, 9 defenders, 7 midfielders, 7 forwards) into keep, sell, loan or release. It is not Stade rennais FC's site and not an LFP match sheet. For club statements, use Stade rennais FC's official channels.
What makes the Rennes page different from the hub or another club?
The hub links all 19 boards; the Rennes page loads only this roster. You start with 26 pre-filtered cards (3 keepers, 9 defenders, 7 midfielders, 7 forwards), not a generic pool. Concrete example: drop E. Lepaul or M. Al-Tamari into Sell and park N. Lemaître in Keep without touching other clubs. Editorial copy talks about Rennes, not a nameless template.
