Official: Boulaye Dia joins Rennes from Lazio in €11m deal
Boulaye Dia has left Lazio to sign with Ligue 1 club Rennes in a deal worth €11 million. The transfer was reported as official by Football Italia, though the formula of the deal reportedly changed from the originally planned structure. Dia had struggled for consistent minutes at Lazio following his arrival and will now look to revive his career in France. Rennes secure a proven goalscorer as they look to strengthen their attacking options in Ligue 1.
Read the full story at football-italia.netBoulaye Dia's move from Lazio to Rennes closes a chapter that never really took off in Rome. The Senegalese forward showed flashes of his prolific Salernitana form but never established himself as a regular starter under Lazio's managers. A return to Ligue 1, where he previously starred for Reims and Villarreal, could provide the platform to rediscover his scoring touch. For Rennes, adding a center-forward with Serie A experience addresses a clear need, even if the adjusted deal structure suggests some negotiation friction behind the scenes.
