Through the microphones of French TV program Pleine Lucarne, Florian Maurice, the technical director of Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais, has confirmed his club's interest on landing Lens defender and Milan target Loic Badé, as he has also affirmed that the youngster also wants to sign for Les Rouge et Noir ahead of the next window. Here is what he said:
"We are in discussions today. This is a target that was identified early on. He is a player we want to bring to Stade Rennais. Discussions between clubs can take a long time. I hope we get there. The player wants to come. Lens is greedy. On the first offers, the clubs immediately declined on all the players we are interested in."
