Rennes set a €60 million price tag as PSG eye Lepaul

At the Stade Rennais training ground, the buzz was palpable as scouts from Paris Saint‑Germain lingered, yet the club’s hierarchy remained unmoved. The French striker Esteban Lepaul, fresh from a 21‑goal Ligue 1 season, is firmly in Rennes’ plans, despite intense interest from several European giants.

Rennes’ unyielding stance

The Breton side has reportedly set Lepaul’s price at €60 million, a figure that appears to serve as a clear warning to Paris and other suitors. According to Fussball News, this valuation is intended to deter bids rather than signal a willingness to sell.

Sources close to the club say there is currently no intention to part with the forward. Rennes expects to retain one of its key offensive weapons and does not anticipate the player pushing for a move.

Widespread European interest

Beyond Paris, clubs such as Manchester City, Aston Villa, Atlético Madrid, Inter Milan, Napoli, Como and Benfica have all placed Lepaul on their radar. The breadth of interest could inflate the market price if Rennes ever decides to entertain offers.

Paris Saint‑Germain has reportedly dispatched observers to monitor Lepaul’s performances more closely, underscoring the striker’s appeal to the capital’s elite side.

Despite the heightened demand, the club’s firm position suggests that any transfer would require a substantial premium over the €60 million benchmark.

Rennes’ approach sends a clear message: while the market may be rife with speculation, the club is prepared to keep Lepaul, reinforcing its offensive line for the upcoming season.
