Queens Park Rangers are keen on signing Stade Rennais’ Glen Kamara and Julien Stéphan is leading his side’s pursuit. Le Parisien, relayed by Jeunes Footeux, state the QPR manager is looking to revive the career of Stade Rennais’ ‘huge flop’. The Finland international graduated from Arsenal’s youth system and has spent most of his career in the UK. After permanent spells at Dundee FC, Rangers and Leeds United, he joined the Ligue 1 side for €10m in July 2024. Stéphan was then in charge at the French club, and Kamara was a regular under his orders. The manager left in November 2024, and the midfielder lost prominence at the French club. Middlesbrough wanted to sign him on loan in January 2025 before he accepted a loan move to Al Shabab. Since returning to his parent club, he’s played 88 minutes from five matches. QPR ready to offer escape route Stade Rennais paid €10m and gave him a monthly salary of €150k. Julien Stéphan’s side are ready to offer the 30-year-old an escape route. Luckily for them, the French club are also keen on offloading a player who has had a disappointing spell. QPR have come forward, and the report claims negotiations between Stade Rennais and the London club are progressing well. Manager key for QPR Julien Stéphan approved his arrival in France, and is undoubtedly key for his current club to sign him. Glen Kamara could be pushing for a move back to the Championship, a league that he experienced with Leeds United during the 2023/24 season. The transfer formula would be the crux of the negotiations. QPR want to sign him on loan while Stade Rennais are pushing for a sale or at least a loan with a purchase obligation.
