Stade Rennais have undergone significant changes ahead of the 2025/26 season. Manager Julien Stephan remains at the helm, but the squad has seen substantial turnover, with big-money sales such as Enzo Le Fée and Martin Terrier. Promising winger Désiré Doué also appears likely to depart for a large fee. This has led to a trimmed squad, particularly as Rennes are not competing in European football this season. In attack, Martin Terrier has not been replaced, meaning more responsibility will fall to Amine Gouiri, who had an inconsistent previous campaign. The midfield has been bolstered by Albert Grønbæk from Bodø/Glimt and Glen Kamara, adding to existing options like Benjamin Bourigeaud, Baptiste Santamaria, and Azor Matusiwa. Defensively, Rennes added Leo Østigård from Napoli and Hans Hateboer from Atalanta, with Østigård expected to play a key role in strengthening a previously vulnerable backline. Veteran goalkeeper Steve Mandanda continues but is no longer viewed as an elite Ligue 1 keeper. Overall, Rennes remain in transition, aiming for a return to European competition[1].

In transfer news, Stade Rennais FC II have confirmed the summer 2025 move of 19-year-old right winger Noah Le Bret Maboulou to Nürnberg as a free agent, with further transfer updates expected soon[2].

Off the pitch, PUMA and Stade Rennais recently unveiled the club’s new home shirt for the 2025-2026 season, extending their long-term partnership into a 19th year[3].

On July 10, 2025, Rennes played a pre-season friendly against Stade Briochin, further preparing for the upcoming campaign[7].

The departure of Adrien Truffert to Premier League club Bournemouth has left Rennes seeking reinforcements at the left-back position[8].
