Jordan James, the 21-year-old central midfielder currently playing for Stade Rennais in France’s Ligue 1, is being linked with a possible transfer to Serie A side, Parma Calcio 1913.
The Welsh-English footballer, who has shown impressive form in the French top flight, has a market value of €8.00m (approximately 59.6 million DKK).
Stade Rennais is currently sitting comfortably in 9th place in Ligue 1 with 50 points. James has been a key figure in their midfield, showcasing his talent and contributing significantly to the team’s performance.
The potential move to Italy could be a step up for James, as Parma Calcio 1913 is known for their competitive nature in Serie A. However, the transfer cannot be confirmed until the reopening of the transfer window on January 1.
In the meantime, James will continue to honour his contract with Stade Rennais, which is set to expire on June 30, 2028. The young midfielder’s future looks promising, and this potential move could open up new opportunities for his career.
It’s worth mentioning that Edimilson Fernandes Ribeiro, a 29-year-old Swiss player, has been a solid presence in the Stade Rennais squad this season, playing 19 matches, providing 1 assist, and maintaining his physical condition at a height of 186 cm and weight of 77 kg. His performance might have an impact on James’ decision regarding the transfer.
