Him or Diane would make sense, pretty low risk transfers
Yep L'Equipe are reporting it as well, Rubin Kazan apparently. They're offering around 12M € to Rennes for him, and 4M € a year as salary. A bit disappointed if this materializes, I was looking forward to seeing him in England but it's a good fresh start for him I guess.
Russia is exactly the place to go for you to get a fresh start. Racism is a huge problem as seen with Carlos, Witsel and Hulk. QPR might have been a better move for him in terms of football. If he came to England and played well, maybe he helps QPR stay up or if he plays and they do down anyway, he would have gained back some of his reputation and a good team would have bought him. It could have been a win-win situation for him at QPR and their pay isn't bad either.
TBF H wanted out of Rennes bad. It's not his fault EPL clubs and others dragged their heels. At tleast this way he also doubles or trebles his pay check.It's a strange move as in spite of several big money moves for top players like Eto'o, Witsel and Hulk, Russian league isn't particularly strong and it's very difficult for top European clubs to price players away from over there. I thought at 22 his ambition would be to play in a top league and develop, even QPR would have made more sense.
