Rennes willing to let Yann M'Vila leave

Rennes are willing to let their star midfielder Yann M'Vila leave the club in January, according to coach Frederic Antonetti.

The France international is one of the most highly-rated midfielders in Europe and will interest clubs once again in this transfer window.

Antonetti admitted that he would not be able to keep the 22-year-old at the club if a "suitable bid" came in for him.

"I want to keep him, but if Rennes were to receive a suitable bid then he would leave," he lamented to RMC Sport. "He is better and more mature, and will go.

"It is part of the club's policy that he will leave if he has to, only, who will replace him?"

M'Vila has made 14 appearances for the Ligue 1 side this season.
