Although 26-year-old French centre-forward Estéban Lepaul recently envisioned continuing at Rennes, especially after their European qualification, the club's top scorer is expected to be solicited. Atlético de Madrid, Benfica, and Como have reportedly shown interest in the forward, which will likely test Rennes' ability to keep him. Lepaul's contract with the French club runs until 2029 and his valuation is currently listed by Transfermarkt as €20.00m. According to reports from May 2026, Rennes' asking price for the player was between €30 million and €40 million.
