At the end of the contract in June 2022, Hugo Lloris has to date not signed an extension with his club Tottenham. He is currently free to sign up for free where he wants, for a transfer that will be effective on June 30, 2022. His new coach Antonio Conte has publicly expressed his willingness to rely on Lloris for his project with Spurs. But Stade Rennais would remain on the lookout.
François Pinault greatly appreciates the player
The club is not necessarily in a strong position in this matter. Corn its owner François Pinault would push internally since last summer to bring the captain of the reigning world champions to Brittany. Hugo Lloris, who will be 35 at the end of December, remains an indisputable holder in club and selection. The caretaker earns more than € 500,000 gross per month, a salary well above the Rennes salary scale. According to the English media, the trend would however be to extend Lloris to Tottenham. Everything would depend on the duration of the new lease offered by the Spurs to their goalkeeper.
For the moment, Hugo Lloris is a dream of Rennes shareholders, who have already studied the feasibility of this business last summer. But with the strike force of the Pinault family, the new status of the club and its current incarnation carried by Bruno Genesio and Florian Maurice, who both frequented Lloris in Lyon, this file, as complicated as it turns out, is can be considered achievable. By attracting the captain of the Blues, Stade Rennais could thus mark the crossing of a new stage in the affirmation of its future ambitions. Contacted, the club denies being in contact with the goalkeeper.
In France, Rennes could also face competition from the training club of Lloris in this case, OGC Nice. Nice which is also the birthplace of the porter of the Blues.
