About the player
Valentin Rongier came through the academy at FC Nantes, moving up from the reserve side to the first team, where he was made captain for the 2018–19 season. That spell as skipper preceded a €13 million move to Olympique de Marseille in September 2019, a departure that Nantes supporters received badly — polls at the time showed nearly 90% disapproval among the club's fans.
At Marseille, Rongier established himself as a central midfielder: in the 2019–20 season he set a Ligue 1 record for tackles attempted in a single match, with 16. His form there also earned him a place in the UNFP Ligue 1 Team of the Year for 2022–23, and he was runner-up in the Trophée des Champions in 2020. A serious injury during the 2023–24 season kept him out for around nine months before he returned to the side.
Rongier has also featured for France, making his international debut against Ukraine on 10 October 2021 and going on to earn 11 caps.
His time at Marseille ended in July 2025 with a €5.5 million transfer to Stade Rennais, part of a wider €18.5 million package that also included Quentin Merlin.
