Regularly capable of picking the right number at the time of the transfer window, Stade Rennais did it again last summer, when signing Esteban Lepaul. The man who had just had a good season with Angers, fully confirmed the hopes placed in him by Rennes recruiters. It now remains to be seen whether the attacker will stay in Brittany for a long time or not.
Because after a difficult first half of the season under the leadership of Habib Beye, Stade Rennais woke up with the arrival of Franck Haise. And Esteban Lepaul has gained strength with the rest of the team. And this has not escaped the attention of certain European clubs.
As indicated by Foot Mercato this Tuesday, several teams have an eye on the twenty-six-year-old striker. The specialized media notably cited Napoli. But the former club of Diego Armando Maradona is not the only club to reflect on the matter since others would be “very interested”.
Estaban Lepaul, rising value
Recruited for 13.5 million euros last August, Esteban Lepaul saw his market value double in less than a season. According to Transfermarkt, it would be worth 20 million to date. Stade Rennais should even be more greedy and the transaction could even reach thirty million euros. However, the Breton club does not have the first idea of ​​this separate from its offensive talent.
Still according to FM, it would rather be a question of a serious salary increase for Esteban Lepaul, in order to ensure a much calmer summer transfer window on the subject. Under contract until June 2029, the native of Auxerre has scored nineteen goals this season in thirty-five matches, in all competitions. He also has five assists, all distilled in the championship.
