Alan Varela is currently recovering from an injury and has been transferred to Rennes from Porto. The move comes after the Portuguese club decided not to renew his contract.

Varela was born in Portugal but moved to Spain as a child and began playing for Sevilla before joining Porto in 2015. He made over 200 appearances for the team and helped them win two league titles and one cup.

However, he suffered a serious knee injury in December 2018 that ruled him out for the rest of the season. Despite being fit again by January 2019, he still struggled with the injury and was forced to undergo surgery.

Since then, Varela has spent most of his time on the sidelines,Serie A Observation but it seems that things have improved enough for him to join Rennes on loan until the end of the season.

The transfer to Rennes will be a chance for Varela to regain his fitness and also provide him with more game-time away from his home country. It's likely that he'll be used as a backup option at the club, but it could also open up opportunities for him to play in other European leagues or even make a move permanently.

Overall, this is a positive development for Varela and his career, as he looks to bounce back from his injury and get back into the mix at Rennes.
