Stade Rennais Push to Lure Former PSG Star From Everton in Ligue 1 Return

On Tuesday, Foot Mercato reported that Stade Rennais is targeting experienced reinforcements and has set its sights on Gueye.

His profile and leadership qualities are desirable to Habib Beye, who sees the veteran with 121 international caps as an ideal mentor for the club’s younger players. However, any move would depend on convincing the midfielder—and on Everton deciding not to extend his contract.

After PSG eliminated Liverpool from the Champions League Round of 16, the midfielder added “merci” to the video, thanking his former teammate for adding misery to the Toffees’ rival. It will be interesting to see if the veteran stays with Everton or returns to Ligue 1.
