Borussia Dortmund interested in Rennes’ Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal | OneFootball

Stade Rennais are already guaranteed to lose one defender this summer. Jérémy Jacquet’s impending move to Liverpool has already been confirmed. The Frenchman, however, will only complete the move in the summer, despite the announcement in February. The idea was for him to continue to gain experience at Rennes ahead of the move to Anfield. That didn’t work out, with the defender sustaining a shoulder injury almost immediately after the confirmation of the move. He has not played since. 

Another player who has featured more sparingly in the second half of the season is Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal (19). The centre-back started regularly in Ligue 1 in the first half of the season, and his impressive performances earned him his first cap for Morocco back in November. 

However, under Franck Haise, game time has been harder to come by. Against Stade Brestois over the weekend, Ait Boudlal made his first start since 7th February. However, as per a report from Sky Sports, Borussia Dortmund are convinced by the Moroccan’s talent and have identified him as a target ahead of the summer transfer window.
