Reports from Italy suggest that Napoli have completed the final details for the transfer of Leo Ostigard to Rennes. The Norwegian defender is set to join the Ligue 1 club on a permanent deal, bringing in 7 million euros to Napoli’s coffers.
Ostigard’s Move to Rennes
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Ostigard is poised to become a new player for Rennes. The transfer agreement has been in place for several days, and Ostigard did not join Napoli’s training camp in Castel Di Sangro as a result. The defender is scheduled to undergo medical examinations with Rennes in the coming hours.
Previous Transfer Interest
In the last January transfer window, Ostigard was close to leaving Napoli, with interest from Serie A clubs Torino and Udinese. However, the move did not materialize at that time.
Ostigard’s Performance and Future
The 24-year-old defender, born in 1999, made 29 appearances for Napoli last season, scoring two goals. His transfer to Rennes marks his first experience in French football. This move represents a new chapter in Ostigard’s career as he looks to make an impact in Ligue 1.
