Albert, under the colors of FK Bodø/Glimt, was successfully completed after 88 matches played, 30 goals, and 16 assists in all competitions. Two full seasons for the Danish talent trained at AGF Aarhus.
A very good with the ball, finisher when the opportunity arises, Albert Grønbæk greatly contributed to his team’s Norwegian championship title in 2023, finishing as co-top scorer of the "Eliteserien."
While his primary qualities are his drive, agility, and technique in motion, the 23-year-old Danish international also stands out for his fighting spirit on the field. Never giving up, ready to give it his all! "I’m coming to a better league, to a club with very high-level players. I know the French championship is tougher, I need to have confidence in myself, I know I can integrate into this new environment. It’s a great opportunity for me, I’m very happy to join a very competitive club, known for its support of young players," declares our new midfielder, excited to meet his new teammates and the banks of the Vilaine. "I’ve seen some videos of the atmosphere at Roazhon Park, I can’t wait to experience it myself."
"I’m coming off a good season, I managed to perform well. I now want my goals and assists to benefit Rennes!"
Albert, who will greet his new teammates this Tuesday in Dinard, the training camp location for this week, arrives particularly sharp. The Norwegian championship is in full swing currently. Our new playmaker has participated in the first 14 league matches of his now-former team, 11 of which he played in their entirety. "I’m coming off a good season, I managed to perform well. I now want my goals and assists to benefit Rennes! Learning French as quickly as possible is also one of my top priorities."
Degemer mat Albert !
Frederic Massara, Sporting Director of Stade Rennais F.C.:
"He is a young player with great qualities who will give us satisfaction, I’m convinced. Many clubs were interested in him, we are very happy that he chose Stade Rennais to continue growing. We can feel his joy in joining us, he will integrate very well into this group, both through his football qualities and his personality."
Olivier Cloarec, Executive President – General Manager:
"This signing delights the entire club, Albert has expressed a sincere desire to join the Rennes project. Over four years at a high level, he has shown very good things both with his training club in Denmark and with Bodø/Glimt in Norway. He is a very technical midfielder full of promise who has previously brought a lot of joy to his supporters. We hope it will be the same at Roazhon Park and on the L1 fields. We knew his technical qualities, and I think his mentality will adapt very well to Julien Stéphan’s group."
