Find out why Harder chose not to swap Sporting for Rennes | OneFootball

Conrad Harder is very close to signing with Milan, but before that, he was in negotiations to move from Sporting to Rennes.

Before being practically closed with Milan, Conrad Harder had everything set to head to Rennes, with whom he had agreed on a contract valid until 2030. Although the French club was making offers lower than the values requested by Sporting, it was already known that they were willing to reach 25 million euros, but there was another issue that prevented the deal.

According to information provided by the newspaper Ouest-France, later confirmed by A Bola, the millionaire demands of the young Danish player's agent ended up complicating the situation, and Rennes refused them. However, still on the morning of this Sunday, August 24, the French officials believed that Harder would end up being a reinforcement.

The problem is that, during that time, the forward's agent was in Milan, meeting with Igli Tare, the sporting director of Milan, to finalize the signing of the current 'number 9' of the green and whites. This market move ended up being a surprise, as the Dane fears having few playing minutes with the Rossoneri - a problem he currently faces at Alvalade.

The Dane from the green and whites showed he was focused on his task with the lion on his chest. In last Saturday's match against Nacional, the forward needed only 6 minutes on the field to score with a move of great intelligence, scoring one of the goals in the 4-1 victory against the island team.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Conrad Harder - valued at 24 million euros - participated in four matches: one as a starter and three as a substitute. In the 103 minutes he has played, the 'number 9' of the Alvalade Club has already scored one goal.
