After Jesper Lindstrom’s move to Everton, Napoli are ready to send Leo Ostigard to Rennes for €7m.
Antonio Conte’s Napoli are completing a few sales to boost their transfer budget.
Everton confirmed Lindstrom’s transfer from Napoli on Friday and Ostigard will soon leave the Stadio Maradona as well.
According to Sky Sport Italia expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the 24-year-old defender will join Ligue 1 side Rennes for circa €7m.
Napoli send Ostigard to Rennes after Lindstrom to Everton
The French side recently appointed Frederic Massara as their new sporting director and were close to signing Marin Pongracic from Lecce but the Croatia international decided to join Fiorentina instead.
Ostigard was waiting for offers from Serie A clubs so he had put talks with Rennes on hold. However, according to Sky Sport, his entourage and Napoli have now reached a full agreement with the French club.
Ostigard hasn’t joined his Napoli teammates for the second part of the pre-season and will undergo medical examinations with Rennes in the coming hours.
