The Ligue 1 season finishing early has a knock-on effect for Roma, as it means Steven Nzonzi will automatically extend his loan at Rennes.
The midfielder has made the move in January after interrupting his spell at Galatasaray due to his row with the club.
This deal had a clause written in meaning that if Rennes qualified for the Champions League, Nzonzi would automatically renew his loan for another season.

The 2019-20 Ligue 1 campaign was officially called off this evening, with a statement confirming PSG were given the title, with Olympique Marseille and Rennes going into the Champions League.
Roma had purchased Nzonzi from Sevilla for €26.6m in the summer of 2018, but he proved to be an expensive flop.
He has made seven competitive appearances for Stade Rennais FC.
