Morel: Newly-promoted Ligue 1 club Lorient sign Rennes defender

Newly-promoted Ligue 1 club Lorient have moved to re-sign Rennes defender Jeremy Morel on a short-term deal, Goal understands.

Morel’s brief stay at Rennes is expected to end on June 30 after joining the club on a one-year contract from rivals Lyon last summer.
