Breaking News:Aston Villa is set to battle Fulham over the signing of French full-back

Adrien Truffert is reportedly wanted by Aston Villa and Fulham, per a story from L’Equipe that was cited by Sport Witness. During the summer transfer window, the 22-year-old full-back is prepared to leave Stade Rennais. The Ligue 1 team may ask for almost €20 million in the interim in order to let him go.
In recent years, Adrien Truffert has played a crucial role for Stade Rennais. Born in Liège, Belgium, he played youth football with ES Jouy Saint-Prest and FC Chartres for five years before moving to Rennes in 2015. After that, the Frenchman advanced through the Ligue 1 team’s tiers before joining Roazhon Park’s main team.

In September 2020, the 22-year-old made his first appearance for the team. He scored the game-winning goal against AS Monaco and contributed an assist on his memorable debut. Truffert, meanwhile, had a strong 2023–24 season, making 43 appearances in all competitions and contributing two goals and seven assists.

As the summer transfer window approaches, the French full-back’s future at Stade Rennais is unclear. Truffert is eager to start a new journey, and a number of prestigious teams, including Fulham and Aston Villa, have expressed interest in him after his most recent update.

According to the source, Aston Villa made an attempt to buy Adrien Truffert eighteen months prior, but the trade fell through. It makes sense that the West Midlands club is still interested in the young full-back given their desire to buy a left-back. Aston Villa has their eye on a number of candidates, including Andrea Cambiaso, and Truffer is also a possible target.

Regarding Fulham, the Cottagers are having concerns about Antonee Robinson’s long-term future because to his connections to prominent teams such as Chelsea and Manchester United. Thus, it is worthwhile to give the Stade Rennais defender some thought. Truffert, meantime, won’t break the bank; the article mentions a €20 million price tag.

Aston Villa and Fulham, however, have fierce rivalry from Leicester City and Bournemouth, two other Premier League teams. Furthermore, major European teams like Lyon, AC Milan, AS Monaco, Bayern Munich, and Benfica are interested in hiring Adrien Truffert. Thus, it will be intriguing to watch where the Frenchman, 22, plays next season.
