Brace off bench

Dia scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 4-1 win against AJ Auxerre.

Analysis: Since transferring to Rennes, Dia has regularly appeared for Rennes, albeit as a reserve. By logging a brace on Sunday, he hopes to have a more meaningful role for the team moving forward. Dia's issue is that he is the backup striker to Esteban Lepaul, who has four goals in six league games this season, an impressive scoring rate.

Heads to Rennes

Dia is moving to Rennes on loan with a conditional obligation to buy from Lazio.

Analysis: Dia is coming off an underwhelming season, and Lazio recently signed his replacement, Andrea Pinamonti. He'll look for better luck in France after registering 12 shots (seven on target) and 15 chances created in 27 appearances (14 starts) in 2025/2026, scoring once and assisting twice.
