Bordeaux and Rennes vie for Niang

M’Baye Niang’s departure from Torino is reportedly inevitable, with Rennes and Bordeaux interested.

The French striker joined the Granata last summer on loan with an obligation to buy, but he fell out of favour once Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic was sacked.

New boss Walter Mazzarri has no desire to have the volatile 23-year-old in his squad, reports Tuttosport, so he’ll certainly leave before the end of the month.
