Rennes are close to completing the signing of centre-back Charlie Cresswell from Toulouse, with multiple reports describing a deal that could reach roughly €25–€28 million depending on the structure. Cresswell, 23, is a former England Under-21 international. One report says Rennes and Toulouse have reached an agreement and places the transfer value at about €25 million. Another source outlines the terms more specifically, stating Rennes pay a €2.5 million loan fee and then have an obligation to buy the player next summer for a fixed €22.5 million. Taken together, the reported figures indicate the initial payment is made as part of a loan arrangement before the permanent transfer is completed. The reports agree that Rennes are advancing toward finalizing the move and that Cresswell is the target from Toulouse. No details are provided across the sources regarding contract length, personal terms, or any performance-based add-ons.
