Stade Rennes is looking for a replacement for striker Breel Embolo, who departed for Atlanta United, and the French club's management highly appreciates Genoa's Portuguese forward, Vitinha. The 26-year-old player could leave the Italian club before the transfer window closes and is also the subject of strong interest from other unnamed clubs in Ligue 1.
Rennes is seriously considering Vitinha, who has previous experience in the French league after joining Olympique de Marseille from Braga for approximately €32 million in January 2023. The club appreciates his profile and could progress with a deal to fill the position left by Embolo's departure. Vitinha joined Genoa in July 2024 and his contract with the club runs until 2028. He has 10 caps and 4 goals for the Portugal U21 team. His current market value is €8.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
