Rennes ready to play ball as Chelsea learn Mendy asking price

Rennes have set their asking price for Chelsea target Edouard Mendy.

Reports emerged in France on Wednesday which claimed the Senegal goalkeeper was keen on a move to Stamford Bridge.

This has seemingly forced Rennes to change their stance after initially being reluctant to part with the 28-year-old.

And theTelegraph reports the Ligue 1 club want a transfer fee of over £30m for Mendy.

Frank Lampard wants to sign the former Reims man as a replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga.

However, the two will likely compete for the number one spot as Chelsea are finding it increasingly difficult to offload their record signing.
