Breel Embolo, a 29-year-old Swiss forward who is under contract with Rennes until the summer of 2029, had Bournemouth from the Premier League as a potential destination. The Swiss forward also had interest from newly-promoted Hull City, while in Italy, Como made inquiries and both Milan and Napoli considered the player.
Despite this, Embolo is nearing a move to Atlanta United. The MLS club is reportedly prepared to meet Rennes' asking price of approximately €15 million. Embolo joined Rennes from Monaco in September 2025 for a fee reported to be €15 million, including bonuses. For the Swiss national team, he has earned 92 caps and scored 26 goals.
