Steve Mandanda to leave Rennes upon contract expiry
Rennes goalkeeper Steve Mandanda (40) is expected to leave the Bretons upon the expiry of his contract this June, according to Le Parisien. Mandanda joined Stade Rennais in 2022 as a free agent when his Marseille contract expired. The former France international went on to feature 101 times with Les Rouge et Noir. Mandanda's status as No. 1 has been revoked following the €15m signing of Brice Samba (31) from Ligue 1 rivals Lens in the winter transfer window. The outlet understands that Rennes president Arnaud Pouille has made clear to Mandanda that he would not offer him a new contract beyond June 30. Several clubs have enquired with Mandanda regarding his availability. The 2018 World Cup winner is still reportedly in good spirits at Rennes, despite his demotion, and has a good relationship with head coach Habib Beye. It remains to be seen whether Mandanda will pursue his career elsewhere or stick around in Rennes under a new role, or hang up his gloves for good. GFFN | Bastien Cheval

Video: Watch Bradley Barcola Go Five-Hole on Brice Samba in PSG-Stade Rennais
After a scoreless 25 minutes, Paris Saint-Germain broke the scoreless deadlock with Stade Rennais to take a 1-0 advantage over the home side on Saturday at Roazhon Park. On a quick attack in the 27th minute, Bradley Barcola was launched deep, clearly on the edge of being offside. He cut inside, positioned himself in front of Brice Samba, and slipped the ball between his legs. The Parisians will be looking for a win to build positive momentum for their second leg against Liverpool.

'Sels having the season of his life'
A Nottingham Forest goalkeeping legend was anointed three years ago when Brice Samba sent the Reds through to the Championship play-off final in a penalty shootout. That mantle is now passed to Matz Sels, who saw Forest into the FA Cup quarter-finals on Monday with the winning penalty save against Ipswich Town. Admittedly, it is not the actual FA Cup final. But there is just one game separating the remaining eight clubs and a semi-final at Wembley. It is another remarkable step in the Reds' incredible journey this year - their eyes now on the business end of the campaign. Not a Nottingham Forest fan? Find and follow your team here Sels has been all-important to Nuno Espirito Santo's team this season. The Belgian keeper appeared to be a stop-gap replacement just over a year ago when he arrived from Strasbourg, but he has been at the heart of the club's success ever since. With 11 clean sheets in the Premier League - more than any other keeper - he, like most of this Forest side, is having the season of his life. His save percentage, goals prevented and almost every stat going is in the top three in the division, only bettered by Alisson and David Raya at the top two clubs. Nuno, a former keeper himself, has been able to build on the foundations that already existed on Trentside, but taken them to a level few imagined. Nobody wanted another FA Cup tie with extra time and penalties but the euphoria a cup run brings is worth the momentum alone. Forest's last FA Cup quarter-final was in that same promotion-winning season, ending in a narrow 1-0 defeat by Liverpool. Can the Reds go one step further? Another raucous atmosphere at the City Ground on Saturday against Manchester City could lift them even higher, with the bond between players, manager and fans clearly evident in Monday's post-match celebrations.

Rennes to miss Brice Samba and Ludovic Blas for Ligue 1 clash with Reims
A 2-0 victory over AS Saint-Étienne on Friday came at a cost for Stade Rennais. While that triumph put Habib Beye's men in 12th, the new Rennes manager will be without two key figures when they host Stade de Reims in a couple of weeks time. First-choice goalkeeper Brice Samba (30) and Ludovic Blas (27) will be forced out of that encounter through suspension. Blas leads the Breton club with six assists in the top flight this season, while Samba has posted a clean sheet in his last two matches since Beye took over from Jorge Sampaoli. On Friday, both players received their third yellows in the last 10 Ligue 1 matches for this team, leading to their suspensions. With back-to-back wins, Rennes are five points clear of AS Saint-Étienne in the relegation play-off battle and six ahead of Le Havre AC, who are in one of the top automatic relegation places. Reims are just a point below Stade Rennais in 14th and are currently winless in their last 10 Ligue 1 affairs, losing 4-0 at Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday. The next match for Rennes in the French top flight occurs next Sunday when they host Lille OSC at Roazhon Park before welcoming Reims to Brittany on February 21. GFFN | Joel Lefevre
