Embolo expressed happiness at joining Rennes and described feeling wanted by the club after initial discussions. He is presented as Rennes' new number 7.
Breel Embolo was signed by Rennes in the final hours of the transfer window. The transfer cost Rennes 15 million euros, and Embolo was given the highest salary in the club. He had one year left on his contract at Monaco and had experienced regular injuries over the last two years. There was hesitation from Embolo to join Rennes, as he was waiting for an offer from the Middle East on the last day of the transfer window, but that offer never came. Ultimately, he joined Rennes, citing the desire to play where he was truly wanted and where he could play often.
L'Équipe reports on Breel Embolo's transfer to Rennes. Breel Embolo was targeted by Rennes from the first transfer meetings by Beye and Désiré. The transfer was completed in the last week of the transfer window, making Embolo the final piece in Rennes' squad aimed at returning to European competitions.

Breel Embolo, a 28-year-old Swiss international who wanted to leave Monaco this summer, was initially hoping for a move to the Middle East. However, due to the lack of substantial offers, he considered other options. Stade Rennais showed strong interest and made significant efforts to persuade Embolo to join them. An agreement was finally reached between AS Monaco and Stade Rennais for a transfer fee of approximately 15 million euros. The transfer is expected to be completed soon barring any major unforeseen developments.
Rennes is now considering Breel Embolo from Monaco as a potential alternative after deciding to abandon their pursuit of Conrad Harder. The change in focus occurred after Rennes chose to withdraw from the deal for Harder because the player's agents were involved in negotiations with other clubs, despite having previously reached an agreement with Rennes. The club felt that they were being used to inflate Harder's market value and therefore decided to explore other options. Breel Embolo, a 28-year-old Swiss striker from Monaco, has become a significant candidate to address the gap in Rennes' offensive lineup. Embolo's contract is valid until June 2026, his market value is estimated at €12.00m by Transfermarkt, and he has also attracted interest from several Serie A clubs, including Milan, Roma, and Napoli.
