Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal’s transfer market situation could see an acceleration. According to information from David Ornstein (The Athletic), Fulham has made an initial offer of £20 million (approximately €23 million) to Stade Rennais to secure the services of the 20-year-old Moroccan central defender. However, this proposal was deemed insufficient and rejected by the Breton club, which values its player at a higher amount.
The London club is looking to strengthen its defensive line following the departure of Issa Diop to Ipswich Town and sees the Moroccan international as one of the priority profiles for its summer recruitment. Trained at the Mohammed VI Academy, Aït Boudlal has made significant progress in recent months, gradually establishing himself under the colors of Rennes, which has naturally attracted the attention of several European clubs.
Despite this initial rejection, the matter is far from closed. Fulham remains interested in the Moroccan defender and could return with an improved offer in the coming days. Rennes, for its part, intends to defend the value of one of its greatest prospects, whose development continues to attract interest in the transfer market.
