Mercato: Le Fée wants to sign for Rennes, Lorient sets its price
Enzo Le Fée is keen to leave FC Lorient during the summer mercato, with a year left on his contract, and has decided to pursue his career at Rennes, who will now have to come to an agreement with Les Merlus.
Called up by Sylvain Ripoll for the Euro Espoirs, which runs from June 21 to July 8 in Georgia and Romania, Enzo Le Fée has made a big decision for his future. Having already announced back in March that he would not be extending his contract at Lorient and was keen to leave this summer, he has decided to pursue his career in Ligue 1, as revealed by Mohamed-Toubache Ter on Twitter last night.

According to Le Parisien, Enzo Le Fée has already chosen his next club, and it's Stade Rennais. Convinced by Florian Maurice and Bruno Genesio, the 23-year-old midfielder has reached a contractual agreement with Rennes, who will now have to reach an agreement with Lorient, which will not be easy.
Lorient demand €25m for Le Fée
According to Mohamed Toubache-Ter and Ouest-France, Lorient is demanding €25 million for Enzo Le Fée. A substantial sum for a player whose contract expires in a year's time. Discussions are likely to be heated between the two clubs.
Lorient will no doubt point out to Rennes that Le Fée is being courted by several other French and European clubs. According to Ouest-France, Dortmund, Frankfurt and Leverkusen are interested in Germany, as are Napoli, Fiorentina and AC Milan in Italy, and Nice and Lille in France.
