Done deal base on reputed France Football, the deal is for 3.5 m euro, and Östersunds get 20% of his next transfer as well. Very good deal for Rennes:

Definitely his best option. Bordeaux got some right winger Gent (Kalu) to replace Malcom, so that wasnt an official option. From the rumors weve heard, this is the best club that was after him, better than celta vigo too imo, because of the europa league competition.

"Saman Ghoddos:Everything speaks well because this was his last match in ÖFK. What a finish it became! He begins on the bench and at the 0-0 position by a quarter, he comes in and decides the match. Can hardly be a better end of time in ÖFK. After the match, he walked alone and thanked the audience for a long time. Outside the game song he stood for a long time and wrote autographs and participated in selfies. "

What a fantastic player. Great move!

[diz]

Great, when does he start?

[KasraKhan]

Let's wait until he's holding up a Rennes kit until we deem this official!

After two orders of AJ16 Brighton home jerseys, my next purchase will be 2 Ghoddos Rennes (number pending) jerseys! Can't wait.

SAMAN IS A GOD!!!!!!

This guy needs to leave this league ASAP... Not even joking when I say he's a better player than Jahanbakhsh

Ridiculous if this guy doesn't have EPL offers...

It's too late for EPL unfortunately since their transfer window already closed

But just saw the news on his likely transfer to Rennes. Fantastic!

[inarsenewetrust]

Let's wait until he's holding up a Rennes kit until we deem this official!

he confirmed in post match press conference with chairman Kindberg.

since the fame of being an international player, going to world cup and playing vs the very best (and playing very well), killing it europa league, drawing lavish praise from many well renowned pundits and coaches alike (including arsene wenger), he has not changed one bit. He is confident in his own ability but very down to earth person who sets a great example for others. Like many of us on the forum, he was probably disappointed that multiple moves of his fell through, including one to his preferred league of choice to a historic/iconic club in Celta Vigo. But he continued to play without a whisper of dissent or annoyance, and set a great example for this young team and club. Then again this summer as the best players on ostersunds moved on, like the Greek CB who went to Malmo, Ken Sema who went to watford, etc, he stayed and continued to bang in goals and win matches and pull ostersunds, with a new coach as well, up to third place.

On this forum, many were suggesting he should force through a move, complain, etc since their owner is such an asshole, but he was so professional that even the criminal owner in the end promoted his move. This guy is just a class act and you can tell by how much the entire club and players all respect and love him.

And the best part is, he will now play in a top league for a top 5 team, will participate in Europa League, be seen by top scouts, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY continue to play for TM. This guy is a gem and it is so great he chose Iran. He can become a real leader for us like Dejagah and his age fits in perfectly with the young core of the team like ARJ, PAG, Saeid, Beira, Milad, Azmoun, Hosseini, etc.
