La Gazzetta dello Sport confirms that Côme is interested in Estéban Lepaul. Rennes president Arnaud Pouille has ruled out a departure for Estéban Lepaul this summer.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Como's sporting director Ludi is working on the potential transfer of Esteban Lepaul from Rennes. The French club is asking for approximately 30 million euros for the player. Como will have to face competition from Atletico Madrid and Benfica for Lepaul. It is said that Cesc Fabregas needs the player and the ownership could decide to satisfy this need.

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.
