Rennes have bid rejected by VfB Stuttgart for Anthony Rouault
The 23-year-old has a contract at the MHP Arena until 2027 having only joined the club permanently last summer, following a loan from Toulouse. The defender is currently valued at €10m by transfermarkt.
Stuttgart plans to use Rouault in the future, which is why they rejected the bid but the defender is open to the possibility of a return to France.
Rouault has played 27 times for Stuttgart this season as they endured a tough start to the season but have finally been able to close the gap with the European places. However, they did crash out of the Champions League on Wednesday night with a tame performance in a 4-1 loss to PSG.
Centre-back is also a slight problem area for Stuttgart due to the injuries in the position as of late so keeping Rouault will be key if they wish to finish in a European place this season.

Zelensky gives Trump a golf putter
President Trump is putting a new flat stick in his golf bag, courtesy of a Ukrainian soldier who shares his love for the game and delivered by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky presented Trump with a new blade-style putter during his visit to The White House on Monday. The Ukrainian leader told the president that the club was given to him by Kostiantyn Kartavtsev, a junior sergeant in Ukraine's Armed Forces. The solider lost a leg in the first months of Russia's full-scale invasion, according to the Ukrainian government, noting golf became part of Kartavtsev's rehabilitation and helped him regain balance 'both physically and mentally.' Trump recorded a video for the Ukrainian fighter thanking him for the gift. 'I just watched you swing, I know a lot about golf, and your swing is great. You're going to be a very good golfer soon,' he told the soldier in the clip making the rounds online with Ukrainian subtitles. 'I want to thank you for this putter … is made with real love from you.' The president encouraged the Ukrainian soldier to keep playing golf and said he and Zelensky are working 'very, very hard to bring your country back to health.' 'The putter is beautiful, thank you. Every time I sink a putt I'll be thinking about you,' he quipped. Zelensky traveled to Washington to meet with Trump and European leaders as the U.S. helps to facilitate a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia amid the ongoing war in Eastern Europe. An avid golfer who owns courses and resorts around the world, Trump was in Scotland earlier this month for the grand opening of his newest property at Turnberry. The PGA Tour also announced Tuesday that it would return to the president's Doral resort in Florida next May, marking the first time the sport's premier league has held an event at a Trump property since 2016.

Official: Gutierrez completes Napoli transfer from Girona for 20m
Napoli have officially signed Miguel Gutierrez from Girona FC on a permanent basis for a reported fee of €20m including add-ons. The left-back had arrived on Monday morning to start his medical tests at the Villa Stuart sports clinic in Rome. Once those were completed, he put pen to paper on a five-year contract. His arrival was announced first, as is traditional at Napoli now, by President Aurelio De Laurentiis on social media. Moments later, the formal statement was published on the club website. Napoli add Gutierrez to squad Girona's Miguel Gutierrez celebrates after scoring the 1-0 goal during the Champions League soccer match between Girona FC and Slovan Bratislava, in Girona, Catalonia, Spain 22 October 2024. EPA-EFE/DAVID BORRAT Gutierrez just turned 24 last month and was a regular for the Spain Under-21 side, playing a key part in the Olympic squad too. A product of the Real Madrid youth academy, he was sold to Girona for €4m in 2022 and flourished. The cost of the transfer is reported to be €18m plus a further €2m in add-ons, but Girona will only get 50 per cent of that, the rest going to Real Madrid. Medical tests were particularly important, as he sustained an ankle injury in May that required surgery.
