Djaoui Cissé pursues transfer from Rennes to Strasbourg

Stade Rennais midfielder Djaoui Cissé is eager to transfer to RC Strasbourg Alsace before the window closes. Cissé, 22, has lost prominence in Rennes, falling down the depth chart under head coach Franck Haise. Rennes demands €20 million for Cissé, while Strasbourg's offer is €12 million plus €3 million in bonuses. The two clubs are €5 million apart in valuation for the player, who is only focused on joining Strasbourg, having agreed to the move. Discussions continue as the transfer window nears its end.
