Rennes are reportedly interested in signing 21-year-old Sunderland striker Eliezer Mayenda during the summer transfer window. The French club is keen on the Spanish-French forward and could soon begin discussions with Sunderland about a transfer fee. There is speculation about Mayenda's future, despite him having a contract at the Stadium of Light until June 2030. The striker previously played in French football for Sochaux before moving to Sunderland in July 2023. In the 2025/2026 Premier League season, Mayenda scored 2 goals in 20 appearances, and he has been capped 9 times for Spain's U21 team, scoring 2 goals. West Ham United have also been linked with the forward. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €16.00m.
