Stade Rennais’ Kader Mangane being tracked by Olympique de Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille
According to reports in Rhone, defending Ligue 1 champions, Olympique de Marseille, and Olympique de Lyonnais are keeping tabs on Stade Rennais defender, Kader Mangane. The Senegalese is considered as one of the best defenders in Ligue 1 and it seems that his career at Rennes is now at the crossroads. Although his contract at the club runs until 2013, the player might be forced to think about moving either to Marseille or Lyon by the end of the 2010/11 campaign. The defensive rock had earlier indicated that he has no plans to leave Britain but a good offer might change all this.
Since his arrival in France in September 2007, Kader Mangane has developed quickly. Where the player made a name for himself at Lens, it was at Stade Rennais where the Senegalese International really exploded onto the scene. The defender has become an essential part of the Rennes backline under Coach Frederic Antonetti this season. His power and pace along with precise tackling has made him one of the most fearsome defenders in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899. Rennes have conceded just 25 goals this season, and many believe that the outstanding defensive record has a lot to do with the presence of the 28-year-old.
If the reports are to be believed, Lyon are very interested in the services of the player and a bid in the region of 10 million Euros might be enough to tempt the player away from Britain. His commitment and ability to lead the locker room would be much appreciated at Lyon – a club that may end the current campaign without any silverware. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Souleymane-Diawara-c33850 or Stephaine M’Bia might force the club to make a bid for Mangane.
However, Mangane is believed to be happy with life at Rennes as he enjoys playing under the guidance of Antonetti. Moreover, it has been rumoured that when his contract was renegotiated a few months ago, he specifically ask the board of directors of the club to keep the coach. For now, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kader-Mangane-c20198 is yet to make a decision on a possible contract extension. Knowing the wisdom of the player, there is no doubt that Mangane will his options before arriving at a decision.
