Esteban Lepaul attracts interest from Manchester City and Juventus

Esteban Lepaul, the top scorer from the previous Ligue 1 season, has drawn significant interest from several major European football clubs following his prolific performance with Stade Rennais. After scoring 21 goals in the 2025-2026 season, the 26-year-old striker is reportedly being monitored by Manchester City, Juventus, Aston Villa, Atlético Madrid, Napoli, and Como.

Despite the interest, Stade Rennais has maintained a firm stance against selling the player during the current transfer window. Lepaul is under contract until June 2030, and the club is reportedly unwilling to negotiate a departure this summer. While his market value is estimated at approximately 35 million euros, his continued form may make a future transfer more complex.
