Fulham won’t let go of the Amine Adli case. The London club has sent a second proposal to Rennes to secure the services of Moroccan full-back Bilal Aït Boudlal. After an initial rejection from the Breton side, who turned down an opening offer of €28 million, the English club has increased its bid to €35 million, including bonuses. However, Rennes has once again rejected this attempt.
A recruitment strategy frustrated by Rennes
Fulham’s management is pulling out all the stops to convince Rennes to part with Aït Boudlal. The first offer, already deemed insufficient by the Bretons, has been followed by a much higher proposal. Yet, despite the increased amount, Rennes remains firm in its stance. The Breton club is now prioritizing another path: extending its defender’s contract. While discussions remain tense, no compromise has yet been reached, leaving the player’s immediate future uncertain. On Fulham’s side, the goal remains unchanged: to strengthen its squad with a promising full-back. Patience may work in their favor, but time is running out before the transfer window closes. Rennes, for its part, is banking on the player’s loyalty, despite the financial allure proposed by the Londoners.
A tug-of-war that could drag on
Rennes has made its priority clear: keeping Aït Boudlal. The Breton management has even hinted at the possibility of a contract extension, an option that currently seems more appealing than a move to England. For Fulham, patience is key, but each passing day reduces the chances of a deal being finalized. With negotiations now at a standstill, the saga could drag on until the end of the transfer window. The Moroccan full-back remains the center of attention, though his future remains undecided. The coming hours will be decisive in resolving a case that, despite the millions on the table, struggles to reach a conclusion.
