Stade Rennais is reportedly targeting Famalicão's promising 20-year-old Moroccan striker, Yassir Zabiri. He has emerged as a potential successor to Mohamed Kader Meïté, who is anticipated to be sold for no less than €30m to Al-Hilal.
Zabiri distinguished himself during the recent Under-20 World Cup, where his five goals, including two in the final against Argentina, were instrumental in securing the title for his team. This performance has drawn significant attention from European clubs.
Having arrived in Portugal from Union Touarga in the summer of 2024, Zabiri has since made 20 appearances for Famalicão, contributing five goals. At 20 years old and nearing his 21st birthday, his transfer to the ambitious Ligue 1 club Rennes could mark a significant step in his burgeoning career.
