Amidɾєρօɾτed interest from Manchester City,didRenneswingerJérémy Doku(21) play his final game withLesRougeetNoirin this Sunday’s 5-1 thrashing of FC Metz?
The Belgian international was excellent againstLesGrenatsand received a 7/10 rating fromGet French Football News.Doku’s performance earned him a standing ovation when he came off the pitch with the game firmly put to bed. “For me, Doku played one of his best games since I arrived here. He was consistent on and off the ball”, beamedRenneshead coach Bruno Genesio during his post-match press conference. “He was justly rewarded with an opportunistic goal.”
Genesio did not deny the ɾєρօɾτs thatManchester Citywould be willing to replace Riyad Mahrez with Doku and pay a hefty fee. It has been ɾєρօɾτed that Doku would become Rennes’ record sale, meaningCitywould pay in excess of €35m for the Belgian. “It all depєɴԀs on the bid we’re talking about,” said Genesio. “Some offers are hard to turn down. It’s true for players, managers and everyone involved in football,”he said in a press conference, attєɴԀed byGet French Football News.
However, the former Lyon manager understands that, so far,Cityare yet to make their move for the electric right-sided winger. “We’re not there yet. I don’t have any news. He is a Stade Rennais player, and until proven otherwise, we can use him.”
