Rennes ponder release of John Boye

French Ligue 1 side Stade de Rennes are likely to part ways with either Nigerian central defender Onyekachi Apam or Ghana international John Boye.

The chairman of the club Frederic de Saint-Sernin has stated they will not keep the two players as one will have to leave the Route de Lorient.

Major changes are being implemented in the setup of Les Rouges et Noirs since the appointment of Philippe Montanier as head coach and it has seen former Ghana captain John Mensah being frozen out of the team.

Onyekachi who was the skipper of OJ Nice was signed by Rennes in 2010 and spent the first one-and-half years nursing an injury, he made his debut for Rennes in January 2012 and has played 18 times for the club who finished 13th in the league last season.

On the other hand, Boye was promoted to the Rennes senior team from the team B in 2010 and has so far played 43 matches for them and was one of the favourites of former coach Frederic Antonetti.
