The French city of Rennes has reportedly offered 30 million euros ($36 million) in order to sign Monaco defender Marquinhos Terrier from the Ligue 1 side. The move would see the 22-year-old Brazilian play for his hometown club after spending most of his career at the club.

Terrier is one of the most promising young defenders in Europe and has been linked with several top clubs over the past few seasons. However, he has yet to make a senior appearance for Monaco, having only made two substitute appearances in the league last season.

If Rennes do manage to secure the services of Terrier, it could be a major boost for their hopes of making a push for promotion to the elite division next season. The team currently sits in eighth place in the Ligue 1 table, but they have lost six of their last eight games and will need to turn things around if they want to avoid relegation.

There is also speculation that the Premier League may be looking to expand its footprint in France, with reports suggesting that English clubs are interested in signing players from other European leagues. This could potentially open up opportunities for talented young talent like Terrier, who could become a key part of a growing pool of French footballers moving to England.

Overall, this move by Rennes is likely to be welcomed by fans of the club and could help to solidify their position in the Ligue 1 standings. If Terrier can continue to develop and impress, he could go on to become one of the biggest names in French football in years to come.
