Napoli push for Rennes' Szymański with 20‑million‑euro offer

Stade Rennais could see a winter departure as Napoli confirm interest in Polish attacking midfielder Sebastian Szymański, with reports suggesting a 20‑million‑euro bid that may spark serious negotiations. The 22‑year‑old signed a contract until June 2029 after joining from Fenerbahçe in January 2026.

Napoli’s Serie A interest confirmed

reported that the Serie A club Napoli is monitoring Szymański closely, confirming earlier hints from Polish sources. While the Turkish‑born midfielder is on Napoli’s radar, the newspaper also named AS Monaco’s Mamadou Coulibaly as the Italian side’s primary target, with Szymański described as a secondary option.

Szymański’s versatility – able to operate as an attacking midfielder or on the wing – has attracted the Neapolitan scouts, who value his ability to adapt across the front line. The Polish player’s profile fits Napoli’s desire to add creative depth to their midfield ahead of the second half of the season.

Rennes’ valuation and potential deal

Rennes originally secured Szymański from Fenerbahçe for a fee of €9.5 million, plus a €1 million bonus clause. The club now regards a €20 million offer as a strong signal of the player’s rising market value.

Since his arrival, the Breton side has positioned Szymański as a key creative element, extending his contract to 2029. In 22 appearances for Rennes he has contributed two goals and four assists, modest figures that nonetheless underline his growing influence.

Those statistics have begun to draw attention beyond France, with reports noting interest from Italian parties, including a mention of “Côme” monitoring his progress. The combination of his on‑field contributions and adaptable skill set continues to raise his profile.

According to the latest information, an offer of around €20 million could persuade Rennes to commence formal negotiations, signalling the club’s openness to a winter transfer if the price aligns with their expectations.
