Rennes explore move for Lazio forward Boulaye Dia | OneFootball

Rennes are exploring a move for Lazio forward Boulaye Dia, 29, before the window shuts.

According to L'Équipe, the Franco-Senegalese striker is among options for a central addition, after a player of that profile, Breel Embolo, joined Atlanta United in MLS.

Further exits in Rennes’ squad remain possible before the deadline, with Djaoui Cissé and Alidu Seidu among those who could depart.

At this stage his arrival is only a possibility. Potentially on loan with an obligation to buy? He is under contract at Lazio until 2028.

Dia broke through at Reims with 14 Ligue 1 goals in 2020-21, then signed for Villarreal. He later moved to Salernitana, and has spent the past two seasons at Lazio, who paid €11 million. The Senegal international was less decisive last term but started the opening two Serie A matches.
