Rennes defender Abdelhamid Ait-Budlal is a transfer target for Fulham, according to reports from The Athletic. The Premier League side has initiated contact in hopes of bringing the 20-year-old to England.
The London club submitted an opening bid of 23 million euros, which was promptly rejected by the French side. It is understood that Rennes values the Moroccan player at a higher figure than the amount currently tabled.
Despite the initial refusal, Fulham maintains a strong interest in the defender and continues to evaluate the feasibility of the transfer. Last season, Ait-Budlal made 21 appearances, contributing two goals and one assist.
