Rennes are prepared to sell Welsh central midfielder Jordan James permanently in the summer and would accept offers around £20-25 million. It is reported that the French club is hoping for a quick sale. Everton and Crystal Palace are monitoring the 21-year-old's situation. Both English clubs are seeking to add quality, depth, and creativity to their midfield. James, who has 15 goal contributions this season while at Leicester City, does not have a future at Rennes. While Leicester are also interested in keeping the player, he is not keen on a move to League One. His contract at Rennes is valid until June 2028, and he has 26 caps and one goal for Wales. His last permanent transfer was from Birmingham City to Rennes in August 2024 for a reported €5 million fee, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €12 million.
