Read Kamaldeen Sulemana’s statement below:

I never thought my journey as a Rennais will be this short but the time has come for me to turn the chapter.

Through the hard & good times, this journey has been full of great memories & lessons. I played alongside very talented mates & friends who became family.

The Roazhon Celtic Kop, Les Socios, Allez Rennes, Roahzon's Calls & the entire fans made Roahzon Park a unique story in my chapters.

From my debut vs Lens on 8-08-21 to my last game vs Lorient 27-01-23 throughout my 18 month stay in Brittany will be one I will keep at heart & thoughts.

All the best this season & beyond

Allez Les Rouge et Noir
