Deported against Monaco, Rennes captain Da Silva announced in Lyon

2021-05-19T08:06:20.414Z


At the end of his contract at Stade Rennais, Damien Da Silva has surely already played his last match with the Breton club. He could bounce back this summer at OL.


The season is missed, and the exit even more. Damien Da Silva had an ordeal this Sunday, on the lawn of AS Monaco. He was overtaken, like his friend from Stade Rennais Nayef Aguerd in defense, on the opening scoring of Wissam Ben Yedder (16th). Then he deflected the strike of Alexandre Golovine, thus taking Alfred Gomis against the grain (29th). Before receiving a logical red card for an ugly, admittedly clumsy sole on the ankle of Fodé Ballo-Touré (85th). The final point of the Breton defeat (2-1) and perhaps of the adventure of Da Silva in Rennes. The Franco-Portuguese (33) will be suspended for the reception of Nîmes on Sunday during the 38th and last day of Ligue 1, while he is at the end of his contract with the Rouge et Noir. So was this his last game? "Certainly",replied his coach Bruno Genesio after the meeting.

At the end of his contract with Stade Rennais, Damien Da Silva, suspended for the last day of L1, should engage with Lyon.

We are talking about a two-year contract.

A contract extension no longer seems on the agenda for the captain, disappointing this season like his team, non-existent in the Champions League where the step was too high and 7th in Ligue 1 after his first podium in the last year.

Rennes said goodbye to its hopes for the Europa League with its result on Sunday, and can still snatch 6th place, synonymous with play-offs for the Europa League Conference, in Lens.

But without Da Silva.

According to Marc Mechenoua, journalist with

L'Équipe

,

Le Parisien

and

Le Monde

, the central defender is close to signing with Olympique Lyonnais for two years.

He would play Europe there, probably with a substitute status. 

The temptation of the stranger

"I am not at the end of my career, but it is true that it is not at 40 that I will go abroad", commented Da Silva last month about his future, he who had it. already wanted in 2018 when he left Caen for Rennes.

West France

evoked the track leading to Greece, and more precisely to AEK Athens, but Da Silva therefore seems to still be popular in France.

Passed by Niort, Châteauroux, Rouen and Clermont, he has been in Ligue 1 since 2014, where he has accumulated 219 matches.

“With Damien, we experienced very big things,” shared his teammate Benjamin Bourigeaud, winner with him of the Coupe de France in 2019, in the final against PSG (2-2, 6-5 on penalties).

If he will honor his duties as a player and especially as a captain until the end in Rennes, Da Silva is more or less already on vacation.
