Danish international Albert Grønbæk undergoing Genoa medical
Albert Grønbæk (24) is nearing an exit from Stade Rennais, with L'Équipe reporting that he is currently undergoing his medical at Serie A side Genoa CFC. However, the French outlet explains that a full agreement between the two clubs has still not been reached. In particular, Genoa and Rennes have not reached an agreement on the clauses surrounding the €11 million purchase option attached to the loan deal.
Grønbæk only arrived at Rennes last summer when he was signed for €15 million from Norwegian club Bødo/Glimt. The Danish international had a bright start, but performances dipped, and he soon began to struggle in the north of France under Julien Stéphan and Jorge Sampaoli. He was sent out on loan in the winter transfer window to Southampton FC, but injuries curtailed his involvement.

Rennes had initially been open to involving him in the squad and giving him a chance to meet with Habib Beye (who arrived as the head coach after he had left for the Premier League side), however, Grønbæk reportedly wanted a fresh start away from Les Rouge et Noirs.

Forgotten Liverpool midfielder compared to Steven Gerrard after England U21 final
Three Liverpool players featured in England's victorious Under-21 European championships final on Saturday, as Lee Carsley's side retained its hold on the trophy. A nervy, topsy-turvy game in Bratislava resulted in the Three Lions earning a 3-2 victory over Germany in extra-time, just 10 days after losing to the same opposition in the group stages. But England matured over the tournament, aided by the contribution of Harvey Elliott. Advertisement The 22-year-old was voted Player of the Tournament, with the Liverpool midfielder netting four goals across the knockout games, including a brace in the semi-final win over the Netherlands, and then the opening goal in the final. READ MORE: Harvey Elliott transfer truth clear after Liverpool midfielder stars for England U21s READ MORE: Jurgen Klopp jokes about Arne Slot's Liverpool success — 'I wondered' It was a reminder, if needed, of his undeniable quality and readiness to play a regular role in the Premier League next season. Likewise, Jarell Quansah, another player picked infrequently by Arne Slot throughout the campaign, was an integral part of England's success and played every single minute of the competition in Slovakia. Advertisement A third, even more peripheral figure from the 2024/25 season, made an invaluable contribution to the final. Tyler Morton didn't play a single Premier League minute for the title-winners, and was limited to five cup appearances this term. After coming in as a substitute late in the first half, it was his arching cross that was turned in by Jonathan Rowe's header in the final to hand England victory. On commentary duty, Joe Hart even claimed his ball from deep was 'Steven Gerrard-esque'. 'The cross… it just tells him to go and score the goal,' claimed Conor Coady during Channel 4's post-match analysis. Morton played the full 90 minutes in the quarter-final win over Spain. -Credit:Getty Images For Morton, another Liverpool youth-team graduate, the tournament could act as a spring board. The midfielder, like Elliott and Quansah, is expected to leave permanently following a campaign which will be seen as a backward step. Advertisement Morton has played 14 times for Liverpool, nine of which came in the 2021/22 season. Since then his career hasn't panned out as he hoped. After spending the previous two seasons on loan at Blackburn Rovers and Hull City, there was hope that this term was going to be a breakthrough campaign. Instead, it proved to be a hugely frustrating one, which was impacted by a shoulder injury. He ended it playing for the Under-21s, just months after he was linked with a January move to West Ham United. Tyler Morton endured frustrating 2024/25 campaign -Credit:Getty Images 'When you're not playing, your confidence gets shut down a little bit. So, it's nice to come back and play here and play with unbelievable footballers, unbelievable youngsters,' the 22-year-old told BBC Sport during the tournament. Advertisement 'It's been the toughest season mentally for me. Obviously, I've coped with it very well because I've got good people around me, but it's been very tough. I think I've coped with it as well as I possibly could. 'I think when you're not playing as a footballer who's as hungry as I am, it does hurt. It's tough, especially when, in my opinion, I wanted to go out and I wanted to play and I wanted to go on loan and get my game time. 'But having chatted with the manager, having to stay, it could have worked out a lot worse than it did. It probably could have worked out a lot better than it did.'
