Fulham have shown interest in Rennes' 22-year-old midfielder Jordan James, but there has been no further development in that potential move. Crystal Palace are also monitoring the player's situation, and interest has come from Atalanta as well. Four clubs from the Championship are involved: West Ham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Middlesbrough, and Burnley. Rennes are open to selling the Welsh international for £10 million and would prefer a permanent transfer to another loan. James is now reportedly considering a move to the second tier. Wolves are said to be particularly keen, while West Ham are thought to be less involved. James, who has 26 caps for Wales, joined the French club in August 2024 from Birmingham City for a reported €5 million and his contract is due to expire in 2028. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €12.00m. In July 2026, reports mentioned a planned bid from Crystal Palace for £10 million, while another report claimed Rennes was looking for €15 million. The reported asking price in April 2026 was £20-25 million.
