Estéban Lepaul has extended his contract with Stade Rennais until June 2030, the club confirmed, as reported by Le Parisien. The 26-year-old forward arrived at the Brittany-based club from Angers last summer and quickly established himself as a key player, finishing the recent season as the top scorer in Ligue 1.
Lepaul’s impressive form saw him register 21 goals and 5 assists for Rennes across all competitions. His performances made securing his future a priority for the club, and negotiations progressed swiftly following a clear indication from the player of his desire to remain in Rennes. The extension represents a significant boost for Rennes as they look to build on a promising season.
Prior to his move to Rennes, Lepaul spent several seasons developing his game at Angers, gradually increasing his goal tally each year. He became a consistent performer in Ligue 1, attracting the attention of several clubs before ultimately choosing to join Rennes. His arrival coincided with a period of positive change for the club, who are aiming to consistently compete in European competitions.
The player himself recently stated his commitment to Rennes, expressing his desire to play a full season with a club competing in Europe. He indicated that the project at Rennes aligned perfectly with his ambitions, and he is eager to contribute to the club’s continued success. This new contract ensures Rennes retain a potent attacking threat and strengthens their position as a force in Ligue 1, potentially allowing them to make further strides in continental competitions.
