Rennes and Monaco interested in Tunisia international Adem Arous

Kasimpasa defender Adem Arous (21) is a target for AS Monaco and Stade Rennais, as per a report from Foot Mercato.

Arous has had a breakthrough season at Turkish Super Lig side Kasimpasa, to the extent that, in March, he made his debut for the Tunisia national team. He is now being heavily linked with an exit as the summer transfer window approaches.

There are several clubs interested in the 21-year-old centre-back. Turkish giants Galatasaray are among them, and they had already shown an interest in recruiting the player back in January. However, a move to Ligue 1 could also be on the cards this summer.

Monaco and Rennes, both of whom are in the race to secure UEFA Champions League football for next season, are also in the race to sign Arous. They may also have to contend with interest from La Liga side Villarreal, who are guaranteed to be competing in next season’s UCL. The defender is valued between €5-6m.
