It’s not official yet, but it’s like. According to Sky Sports and multiple sources on both sides of the Channel, the Belgian international winger from Rennes Jérémy Doku will join Manchester City. There is talk of a €65m package, which will represent a sales record for the Breton club, which had sold Nayef Aguerd to West Ham and Ousmane Dembélé to Dortmund for €35m. Numerically, the interested party will replace Riyad Mahrez, who left for Al-Ahli, with the champions of Europe and England. Recall that Bruno Genesio had half-confirmed the departure of the former Anderlecht player last weekend, after the draw in Lens (1-1). Recruited in 2020 for €26m, 21-year-old Doku scored 12 goals and provided 10 assists with Stade Rennes in 92 matches.

Les Gones are also looking into Ajax Amsterdam’s Davy Klaassen according to Voetbal International. The 30-year-old midfielder has different options and is studying them carefully.
