According to Onze Mondial, the 29-year-old joined Rennes from Ligue 1 rivals Monaco last summer in a €13 million transfer, but endured a mixed debut season in Brittany, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists.

Embolo raised his profile at the 2026 World Cup with Switzerland, scoring twice and adding two assists as Murat Yakin’s side reached the quarter-finals.
His tournament ended controversially after he was sent off against Argentina. Several Serie A clubs and MLS side Atlanta United are also reportedly monitoring the forward, with the latter expected to make an offer.
However, Embolo is believed to favour a move to England, potentially opening the door for the newly promoted Premier League clubs to secure his signature.
